Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy composite buckle of Medieval date. The buckle consists of a single looped frame with integral forked spacer and two flat sheets to either side of the spacer forming the buckle plate. The buckle frame is oval-shaped with a pointed lip which is pinched and faintly notched to form a pin rest, in section the frame is flat on both the reverse and the inside edge but rounded at the top and outward-facing sides. A forked spacer extends, unseen, from the strap bar part of the frame and is sandwiched between the two copper-alloy sheets which form the buckle plate which would, when complete, have secured the cloth or leather strap in place. An incomplete tapered copper-alloy pin is still in situ curled through a hole or gap at the point where the strap bar of the buckle frame meets with the forked spacer. The sheets forming the plate are incomplete but were rectangular in form with a scalloped rear edge, they are secured in place via rivets. Buckles of this type are dated c.1200-1400.
