Description: | Medieval (1400-1500) buckle with an integral box plate: The copper alloy frame is largely missing and the pin is also missing. The frame has two broken arms which are rectangular in section and are just traces of the frame. The break of one side of the frame is a recent break, the other is not. Between these traces of a frame there is a circular perforation on the edge of the buckle plate which creates the bar for the pin. The buckle plate is a elongated trapezoidal box in plan and profile. The bow is forms by a three sided plate which is enclosed on the underside, the fourth side by a copper alloy plate, which is slightly cracked and squashed. The upper face of the plate is decorated, but the design is indistinghasable from the abrasion and incomplete patina. At the terminal of the box, opposite the pin bar the plate has two iron rivets which would have secured the plate to the strap, which is now missing. The surface of the buckle plate is abraded and has a mottled dark green patina. It measures 26.88mm long, 20.58mm wide, 5.74mm thick and weighing 8.4g. A similar example is recorded on the PAS database, IOW-ED8C07, dated to the 15th century.
