Description: | An incomplete Medieval copper-alloy buckle frame with a separate sheet copper-alloy plate (c. 1270-c. 1400).The object consists of two elements, the frame and plate.The frame is incomplete and the pin is missing.This single-loop frame, with the outer edge missing, was oval in plan prior to being broken. It has an offset and narrowed bar which is oval in cross-section. The apparently undecorated plate is formed from a single rectangular sheet of copper-alloy folded widthways around the bar of the frame to create an upper and lower plate of roughly equal size and shape. The plate is recessed to accommodate the frame and there is a central rectangular pin slot. The sides of the plate are slightly curved in plan and the end is slightly oblique. At the centre of the attachment end there is a single copper-alloy rivet. It is flush with the surface at the front, proud and burred-over at the rear.Both the frame and plate are corroded and reddish brown. The breaks are old. Flecks of gilding can be seen on the plate.Frame: Length: 12.0mm; width: 31.1mm.Plate: 28.0mm; width: 13.4mm; thickness of plates at bend: 5.1mm.Overall length: 34.6mm. Weight: 6.71g.
