Description: | An incomplete copper alloy buckle of Medieval date consisting of buckle plate (strap end) and the severly bent loop or frame of buckle. The pin is missing. The strap end is rectangular, a sheet of metal bent back over itself leaving two projecting lugs to hold the frame of the buckle. A pin slot has been cut in it to let the pin through.Two rivets are in place at the attachment end of the buckle plate. The plate is 32.58mm long and 24.04mm wide. It weighs 14.06g. One side of the plate appears to be thicker than the other, at 1.77mm compared to 1.10mm but the whole is considerably abraded.Because it is abraded, any decoration is difficult to ascertain. There may be an embossed decoration on one side of the buckle plate and there may be a pattern of two small knops on the buckle frame either side of the pin bar.The metal has split across one of the lugs and the buckle frame is now held in just one of the lugs.The buckle frame is considerably bent. The hoop is flat in cross-section and 1.39mm thick. It has a bezel about 18.50mm in length and 6.31mm wide, from where it loops away to the pin bar where the cross-section is circular and 1.29mm in diameter at this point.The item overall is 41.90mm long.
