Description: | An incomplete Medieval copper alloy buckle, dating AD 1330-1400. The buckle has an oval frame with forked projections on one side that acted as dividers in between two plates. All that remains of this item is a single fork from the dividers and part of the oval frame. There is a lip on the frame where the pin would have rested. Moulding between the frame and the divider arm indicate a decorated panel would have separated the frame from the plates. It appears that the frame has been bent outwards as the lip does not align with the centre of the dividers, where the pin would have been attached. The buckle has a mid-dark brown pattination across the surface. Several similar examples can be found in Egan and Pritchard (1991, nos. 322-4) and all date from AD 1330-1400. It is difficult to find an exact parallel due to the condition of this object, so it is likely that this object dates from that broad period. Dimensions: length: 45.65 mm; width: 11.58 mm; thickness: 2.61 mm; internal diameter of frame: 13.67 mm; weight: 1.86g.
