A Medieval copper alloy composite buckle with forked space, and a D shaped frame. The buckle probably dates from 1300 to 1500. The frame is D shaped with a pointed knop for the pin to rest on. Neither plate survives. The pin is still in situ and is D shaped in cross-section, bent round the bar, and the buckle and plate have a green/brown patina. Measurements are; length 25.11mm, width 16.15mm, thickness 4.56mm and weight 2.29g. The width of the strap is 10.7mm.
A similar example can be identified in Meols (2007) page 84 and also Whitehead (2016) page 36 plate 211.
