Description: | Medieval copper alloy oval buckle with separate plate, probably of mid 14th to 16th century dateThe buckle comprises the oval frame (26.1mm long and 25.1mm wide) with separate folded sheet plate 30.0mm long, 15.2mm wide and 1.4mm thick). The buckle has an expanded outside edge (4.9mm wide and 4.2mm thick) with a notch for the pin. The sides are convex and the bar is offset. The pin does not survive but the presence of iron corrosion suggests an iron was used. The plate was folded around the bar with a slot for the pin. The plate was probably of rectangular form but is now corroded with peripheral loss. The plate was attached to the strap and closed by a rivet near the attachment end, which is still in place (with a length of 5.2mm and a diameter of 3.3mm). No trace of applied decoration survives on the plate but there is the suggestion of a transverse rib behind the pin slot. The surface is heavily-corroded with traces of a dark-green patina.
