Description: | An incomplete Medieval copper alloy buckle and buckle plate, c. AD 1250-1500. The buckle frame is D-shaped with a narrow and offset strap bar. The pin is missing. There are two seperate circular rivets in place on the rectangular buckle plate, which is composed of a single sheet of copper alloy with a central notch removed for the pin and has been wrapped around the strap bar. It has a green patina and there is evidence of gilding around the top of the rivets in a circular decoration.The reverse side of the buckle plate is smaller than the front and retains the reverse surface of the rivets.Cf. Whitehead 2003, pp. 18-19 and also Egan (1991) page 94, number 422, which he dates from c. 1270- 1350.
