Title
Late medieval to early post medieval incomplete buckle
Description
English: Three pieces of a late medieval to early post-medieval copper alloy probable buckle with very tall sub-conical settings, now containing white paste only. The largest piece is a corner piece measuring 38.8mm long, 15.9 wide and 13.2 thick. Neither side is complete, but both bend inwards from the corner, making concave sides in plan. There is a small circular hole in the corner. The more complete side has a tall projection in what appears to be the centre. The projection is oval and tapers to the top forming a sub-conical shape but with slightly concave sides. There is a hollow in the top of the projection which contains traces of white paste. It was presumably a setting originally.

The second largest piece is very similar to the longer side of the corner piece, but it has no corner. Again, there is a concave bar which matches the first piece, with another identical setting. The third and smallest piece is another identical setting on a bar which curves in a way that matches the other pieces in plan. All three pieces are also bent so that they curve in section, but this could be accidental damage rather than part of the design.

No close parallel has been found. Rectangular buckles with concave sides appear in Whitehead (1996) dated from c.1450 to 1600, but there are none with similar settings.
