Description: | A copper alloy medieval single loop spur buckle with an integral plate dating to c AD 1250-1400. The buckle is missing its pin. It comprises an oval loop with a frame which follows the contour of the loop but expands outwards at the outer end. Below the frame of the buckle is an integral plate where there are two small knops, one on either side, and which then appear to wrap around under the plate. There is a rivet in place through the centre of this feature. The plate then tapers a little before ending in a straight edge which may be an old break. Just below the oval loop is a hole where the pin would have been attached. The buckle is angled upwards from the plate. There is a lip around the inside of the buckle loop and there are five round punch marks on the underside of the buckle frame close to the lip.The loop is 6.65mm x 10.70mm, the outer part of the frame extends 11.22mm outwards. It weighs 4.97g. The whole is 38.58mm in length, 20.46mm wide at its widest point (across the buckle).
