Description: | A complete medieval copper-alloy buckle with pin and folded sheet plate, c.1200-1400. The undecorated frame is single-looped and D-shaped, and is rounded in cross-section. The copper-alloy pin is circular in cross-section and is wrapped around the bar. The undecorated rectangular plate is made from a piece of copper-alloy sheet folded in half with a pin slot and frame recesses cut. The remains of a rivet hole can be seen at the opposite end to the buckle frame. One corner of the plate is now missing. 20.82mm in length, 3.44mm in thickness, 12.77mm in width, 1.64g in weight.Several similar examples are known, but with longer plates. One was found in London in a context of c. 1230-c. 1260 (Egan and Pritchard 1991, no.304); Whitehead illustrates others and dates them to c.1250-1500 (1996, nos. 46 and 59). Also compare PAS record CORN-7D3934.
