Description: | A cast copper alloy medieval spur buckle dating to circa (AD 1200-1500).The buckle frame is of trefoil form, below the frame the integral plate has two rounded knops on each edge, the plate then extends in to a narrow form that is triangular in plan. The upper part of the plate nearest to the buckle has a circular piercing that has the remains of the pin intact. Below this is a further circular piercing. The plate narrows to a broken terminal where it probably was originally pierced for a rivet. Extending from the opposing edge of the buckle the frame has a long hook that has been curved back on itself, this terminates in a zoomorphic head. The head is triangular in plan. The reverse is undecorated. The object has an abraded light green to brown patina. The buckle is almost identical to another found in the parish of Uffington, Oxfordshire and can be found on the database (SUR-2F8BE7).The buckle measures 55.3 mm in length, 17.9 mm width, 5.6 mm thick (at the zoomorphic terminal) and weighs 4.02 grams.
