Description: | Medieval (13th to 14th centuries) buckle and integral plate: The copper alloy buckle frame is a sub-oval incorporating the strap bar at one end. This leaves a smaller oval void to allow the pin to move. There is an integral plate which is narrowed in width and asymmetrical. There is not a mounting point on this part of the plate, therefore it is probably incomplete. The surface of the frame and plate has a well developed mid green patina. The buckle and plates measures 24.81mm long and 14.65mm wide. It weighs 1.65g.This is a Medieval buckle, probably dating to the 13th to 14th centuries. Egan and Pritchard (2002) illustrate similar buckles with integral plates, for example Nos. 482-4, but the recorded example does not have a bevelled edge.Egan, G. and Pritchard, F., 2002Dress Accessories, c. 1150- c. 1450 (Medieval finds from Excavations in London)London: Boydell Press
