Description: | A complete copper alloy Medieval spectacle buckle, dating to the period AD 1350-1450. The buckle has central bar which is triangular in cross section. There is an moulded longitudinal ridge along this bar which continues to the terminus of the outer frame. This bar expands out to each side to form two loops, which are D shaped in cross-section. On one side of the frame is a small transverse groove which serves as the pn rest. The pin is still intact, and comprises a length of copper alloy, circular in cross-section, which is folded around the axis bar at one end. There is a green patina on the surface, with areas of red-brown. The reverse is undecorated.Cf. Egan, G. (1991) p.86, nos. 350, 357, 367, dating to AD 1350-1450.The buckle measures 22.95mm in length, 16.27mm in width, 1.95mm in thickness and weighs 2.53g.
