Description: | An incomplete medieval copper alloy spur buckle and rove dating 13th - 14th century. This buckle has a circular frame with an integral bi-lobed plate; in the first of the lobes there is a circular perforation for the pin. There is a notch on the oppsite side of the frame forming a pin rest. The pin is no longer present. The second of the lobes on the plate is circular and the front surface is decorated with a moulded eight-petalled flower and on the reverse there is an integral rove. There are traces of gilding surviving on the front surface. Egan & Pritchard (1991:106-109 no. 482) illustrate a similar example in form but not the decoration, the buckles of this type came from contexts dating 13th - 14th century. They write that the function of these buckles is not clear but they may have been used with spurs. Similar examples are also recorded on the PAS database e.g. SUR-FE3D62; SUR-7A81D5.Dimensions: length: 38.51mm; width of plate: 13.01mm; thickness including rove: 5.34mm; diameter of buckle frame: 22.17mm; weight: 5.89g.
