Description: | Medieval buckle with integral hollow or socketed plate, pin missing. Oval frame with groove for pin on outside edge. A pair of transverse moulded grooves decorating the bar is interrupted by the pin hole, and there is a waist between the bar and the socket. The slightly trapezoidal plate has a transverse groove at the junction with the waist and is decorated with an engrave angular quatrefoil within a frame of bordering lines. The plate has integral sides and a separate back plate secured by two copper alloy rivet and two iron rivets at the mouth of the socket. Length 38mm. Width at attachment end 18mm. Socket width 15mm. This form of buckle appears to be related to the much more elaborate "lyre-shaped" type, which were popular in northwest Europe during the period between c.1375 and c.1450 (Fingerlin 1971, Abb. 286-7, 289, 291 and 336).'Found in the 1990s'
