The spur's tapering arms have a flattened D shape in section; at the base of the rowel they are 9mm wide; at the terminal loops they are 3mm wide. One side is slightly distorted.

Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Cumbria
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Very small cast cu-alloy double oval buckle dating from the late medieval or early post medieval period, i.e. 16th century. The buckle is complete with the pin still intact and in place, but it is possible that this the now attached pin is not the original, but a replacement one. The buckle frame is undecorated and whilst flat on the reverse, it has a ridge on the obverse, i.e. it is triangular in profile. The pin is not shaped but, as already mentioned above, looks like a simply bent rod which was attached later to replace the missing original pin.
