Description: | An incomplete post-medieval copper alloy buckle, dating to c. AD 1350-1450. It a single loop buckle with integral forked spacers. It would have also consisted of double sheet plates, but these are now missing. The moulded loop is oval and its outer edge along one long edge has a slight point to it. Two prongs protrude from the other long edge of the oval, one shorter than the other due to a worn break. It is on these prongs that the sheet plate would have been attached. The buckle is a quite worn, and is dark brown in colour, with areas of orange and light brown. The reverse is identical to the front, but flat. The buckle measures 31.29mm in length, 16.53mm in width at its widest and 10.27mm at its thinnest, 1.83 mm in thickness and 2.27g in weight.See Whitehead, R. (1996) Buckles 1250-1800, p.36-37, nos 209-217 for similar examples, and PAS-6040ACon the database.
