Description: | A fragment of a Medieval (1250-1450) copper alloy composite buckle, consisting of part of the frame with integral forked spacer. The axis bar is intact and constricted for the pin. From one end of the bar the curved and bevelled frame extends for c.6mm before a break, at the other end is only a small stub. The forked spacer extends either side of the pin constriction but is broken after c.10mm. All breaks are old and worn. Both surfaces of the spacer show significant traces of solder, suggesting this was the method by which it was attached to the front and back buckle plates.The fragment is 17.8mm long, 20.0mm wide, 3.35mm thick and weighs 3.11g. Several similar examples of oval buckle frames with integral forked spacers are illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991), p.81, fig. 49.
