Description: | A tinned copper alloy medieval buckle with integral plate dating to the period c. AD 1250 - 1450. The buckle frame is D-shaped and thickens on the outermost edge into a triagular projection which functions as the pin rest. This features a horizontal groove. The buckle frame features a knop on either side at the point where the pin bar is situated. One is complete and one is incomplete due to an old break. The pin is wrapped around the pin bar and terminated in an old break. On either side of the pin the integral split end strap bar is wrapped around the pin bar. The strap bar tapers slightly along its length and features a single rivet which pierces the upper and lower plates. The buckle is tinned all over, although it has worn away in some places to reveal the copper alloy underneath.The buckle measures 30.49mm in length, 9.96mm maximum width, 6.55mm minimum width and is 3.33mm thick. It weighs 1.65g.
