Description
English: A complete cast copper-alloy buckle frame and folded plate dating to the Medieval period (AD 1300-1500).

The circular frame is D-shape in cross-section and has a bevelled edge on the reverse. The patination on the upper and lower surfaces is mottled light-green and brown in colour. Attached to the circular frame is a double-layered plate consisting of two flat square-shaped strips attached to the circular frame by a bent rectangular tab. Both strips are perforated by two adjacent circular holes. The plate has mid-brown patination with patches of light green in some areas.

The circular frame is 19mm in diameter, 2.9mm wide and 2mm thick. The attached plate is 16.2mm long, 12mm wide and a combined 1.5mm thick. The holes are all 1.8mm diameter. The entire object weighs 2.63 grams.
