Description: | Cast copper alloy buckle and buckle plate dating from the medieval period, that is the 12th-15th century. The buckle frame and attached buckle plate are intact and the surfaces show some corrosion but overall they are in good condition. The pin is missing. The buckle frame is oval in shape, but has a narrow offset spindle with circular cross-section while the opposing side is wide and flat-rectangular in cross-section. In the centre of the frame's wider side is a cast or sheet roller which also serves a pin rest, indicated by the central groove. The buckle plate was made from a folded over sheet of bronze with four rivets securing it to the leather strap. One rivet is still in place; the others are missing.NB: The FLO has not seen this artefact in person. Images and find spot information were kindly supplied via email by the rally organiser/finder.
