Description: | Copper alloy possible Buckle. Cast trefoil frame with two prongs perhaps indicating this to be from a late medieval composite buckle, with four knops at the outermost points of its edge. A slot in the outer edge appears to be a pin rest, though this part of the object includes no pin bar; a pin would necessarily have been fixed elsewhere. The finder raised an alternative possibility: that this object is an unusually small form of Jews Harp, in which case the 'pin rest' would be the housing for a steel strip. A broad date range is intended to embrace both possibilities. Suggested date: Late Medieval to Post-Medieval, 1350-1700.Length: 37.9mm, Width: 34.8mm, Thickness: 4.3mm, Weight: 8.21gms.
