File:14th-century buckle plate, obverse (FindID 99934).jpg

English: The forked spacer plate from a medieval cast copper-alloy composite buckle. A plain D-shaped frame with a pointed lip which contains the pin notch. In section the frame is the shape of a right angled triangle with rounded corners; the reverse is flat. There is a notch in the frame to hold the missing pin. The forker spacer continues for 38.3mm. Each prong has been bent out of alignment. The plates have been lost. On the reverse there is a small patch of white correction fluid bearing the number 229. There is evidence of tinning on the prongs; the buckle has a high tin content. There is a close parallel for this artefact illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 81; ref. 325) which dates from the second half of the fourteenth century.
