Description: | Medieval probable buckle (13thto 15thcenturies): The copper alloy buckle plate is almost complete and only a fragment of the frame remains. The plate is an elongated rectangle which is bent in profile forming an L-shape. One terminal has a moulded edge in the form of a long central knop, with a shorter knop either side. At this terminal there is a rivet hole. The opposite terminal also has a small rivet hole, and an incomplete perforation where originally the pin would have been fixed, but the pin is now missing. This edge is broken, but it is not a recent break. On corner extends to for a fragment of the frame which has a collar between the pin bar and frame. The plate, on the outer surface is decorated with a fine, untidy, rocker arm wriggle work across the centre and it is here traces of gilding is visible. The surface has a light-mid green patina. It measures 34.16mm long, 10.52mm wide and weighs 2.03g.The style of decoration and the integrated buckle and plate suggest this is of a Medieval date, probably 13th to 15th centuries.
