Description: | A cast copper-alloy buckle and plate of the Medieval period, AD 1250-1500.The buckle has a D-shaped frame with a slightly offset crossbar and a roller made of a sheet of copper alloy set in a central recess of the outer frame. The plate was cut from sheet, with slots cut to form the hinge of the plate, then folded around the crossbar of the buckle frame. The plate was riveted, with a larger dome-headed rivet surviving near the hinge, and a smaller square-headed rivet near the upper outer corner of the plate. A circular hold missing its rivet is located below the square-headed rivet. A gold surface that is likely to be the remains of gilding is visible around the head of the largest rivet.The pin is missing.
