Description: | An incomplete Medieval cast copper-alloy buckle frame with a separate and incomplete sheet copper-alloy plate (c. 1270-c. 1400).The object consists of three elements, the frame, pin and plate.This single-loop frame, with the outer edge missing, was oval in plan prior to being broken. It has an offset and narrowed bar which is circular in cross-section. The plate is formed from a single rectangular sheet of copper-alloy folded widthways around the bar of the frame to create an upper and lower plate of equal size. The plate is recessed to accommodate the frame and there is a central rectangular pin slot. The tapering pin is convex at the front and flat at the rear. Its loop fully encloses the bar and the edges of the upper surface are bevelled. Close to the tip, the shaft has a narrow waist. The sides of the plate are parallel and there is an incomplete circular rivet hole at each corner of the attachment end. The faces of the plate are plain.All three elements have a similar shiny green patina with small patches of corrosion and each outer face of the plate is worn. The breaks are old.Frame: Length: 15.57mm; width: 23.38mm; thickness at bar: 2.72mm.Pin: Length: 20.75mm; width at loop: 4.09mm; thickness of shaft: 1.31mm.Plate: 29.32mm; width: 18.27mm; thickness of sheet: 0.39mm.Overall length: 46.38mm. Weight: 4.90g.
