Description: | An incomplete copper alloy buckle of medieval date. The buckle has a single looped oval frame with a projecting lip to the outer edge. From the opposite side of the loop an integral forked spacer extends, each arm flanking a pin bar. The arms of the forked spacer taper in width, one to a blunted point, the other to a worn break. A circular sectioned pin remains looped around the bar though the tip has been lost to a worn break.The metal has a mid-green patina and is worn. The buckle is 28.9mm long, 15.1mm wide, 4.9mm thick and weighs 19.g.A similar example is illustrated in Whitehead, p.37, no.216 and is dated to circa AD 1350 - 1450.
