Description: | Late medieval copper alloy buckle with integral plate, 40mm long, 14mm wide and 2mm thick with a weight of 3.69grams. The object consists of a D shaped buckle loop with a small rectangular pin rest projectng from its outer edge. This is integrally cast onto a rectangular plate with a pointed terminal. There is a circular pin hole in the centre of the plates edge and directly behind this, sitting in the centre of a raised double collar, is a circular fixing hole, partially filled. Beyond the collar is a rectangular section with a rounded upper surface, decorated with incised diagonal stripes. There is a further singe raised collar and beyond this the plate is triangular with a slightly rounded upper surface and has a second circular fixing hole to one side. The underside of the object is flat with two sub rectangular cross sectioned fixing prongs emerging in correspondence with the partially filled fixing holes.The object was probably a strap buckle. The object is very similar to DENO-B60952 and YORYM-8A95E8 cf Whitehead 1996, p. 34, nos 195-201, dating to 1250-1400.
