Description: | An incomplete copper alloy, annular buckle buckle dating from the Medieval period AD1200 - 1500. The frame and integral pin bar are flat and rectangular in section. There is a single flat, narrow, tongue projecting from the outer edge of the buckle. A copper alloy buckle plate remains in place around the pin bar. It is constructed from a triangular piece of sheet copper alloy, folded over the pin bar and held together by a copper alloy rivet connecting the apex of the triangle to the centre of the base. It is then notched to take the pin, which is missing. The buckle has a patchy, dark green patina. It is 27.8mm long, 19.6mm wide and 5.4mm thick. It weighs 2.35gm.A similar artefact, though without an integral pin bar, is recorded on the database at reference NLM-3F7853. Similar buckles with two tongues are illustrated in Whitehead, 2003, Buckles 1250 - 1800, page 46.
