Title
IOW-3DDDC0 Medieval Composite Buckle
Description
English: An incomplete Medieval cast copper-alloy composite buckle frame with a portion of an integral forked spacer (c. 1350-c. 1400).
The frame is oval in plan, convex at the front and flat at the rear. It has a pointed knop at the centre of the outside edge. A rectangular pin slot, 1.3mm in width is incomplete. The tapering copper-alloy pin has a loop fully enclosing the bar and the tip is missing. Length of pin 8.8mm; width of pin loop 2.5mm. The portions of prongs are slightly less thick than the frame on both faces and their width is 11.6mm.

This buckle frame has a shiny dark green patina. The pin has a similar patina and is corroded in places where bright green copper alloy corrosion deposits are present. The breaks on the prongs are old.

17.1 x 17.5 x 4.4mm. Weight: 2.06g.

Similar examples from London have been published and dated c. 1350-c. 1400 (Egan & Pritchard 1991: 80, fig. 49).
