Description: | Medieval copper alloy buckle with a rectangular frame and folded plate, probably of 13th or 14th century dateThe buckle is near-complete, missing the pin (with an overall length of 35.2mm and a weight of 8.8g). The rectangular frame (15.3mm long and 24.2mm wide) has a prominent lip with notch to accommodate the missing pin. The frame is rectangular-sectioned but is deep (with a height of 5.5mm and a thickness of 1.6mm). The folded sheet plate (24.2mm long, 23.5mm wide, 6.2mm deep and 2.0mm thick) has a slot for the pin and is recessed to accommodate the corners of the frame. The rear of the plate (at 10.3mm long) is not as long as the front. The plate is decorated with four vertical grooves, each enhanced with punched notches. The attachment end has three projecting spikes, which are presumably decorative. There are no attachment holes in the plate and it remains uncertain how the strap was attached to the buckle. The surface has remnants of a mid-green patina, now discoloured from a recently applied oily coating.
