Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy Medieval (AD c.1400-1550) buckle with a circular frame and central bar, missing its buckle plate. The frame measures 22.35mm in diameter and 2.95mm in thickness. Its front edges are bevelled. The shape of the pin seems to be unusual. It is 14.50mm long and is a 4.70mm wide rectangle where it wraps around the central bar but is only 2.65mm wide for most of its length. Overall the buckle is 6.25mm thick and weighs 4.27g. For parallels cf. Whitehead 1996, 44 nos 251-256 and Egan and Pritchard 1991, 65 no.214. Buckles of this type were used for spurs in the late medieval period.
