Description: | A medieval cast copper alloy buckle, possibly a spur buckle, with an integral plate. The frame is oval and has a projecting pin seating. The narrow integral plate is decorated with an engraved series of diagonal slashes. Between frame and plate a pair of pointed projections extends out from either side. There is a single pair of projections on the opposite end of the plate and this occurs just before the terminal expands and ends in a point. Adjacent to the frame is a hole for the missing pin. The two ends of the plate are pierced for a rivet for attachment to the leather strap; both rivets survive. On the lower side each rivet retains a sheet metal rove, one of which survives partially.
