Title
IOW-B6FFC8 Medieval Spur Buckle
Description
English: A misshapen and corroded Medieval cast copper-alloy single-loop spur buckle with an integral plate (c. 1250-c. 1400 AD)

The frame is trapezoidal in plan, bevelled at the front and rear. The sides of the plate taper and then expand to form an oval attachment end. A small portion of a copper-alloy pin survives within a pin hole. Two copper-alloy rivet holes penetrate the plate along the median centre-line. There is curvilinear abstract design on the front of the plate.

This object is corroded and has traces of a dark green patina.

Length: 28.45mm; width: 17.64mm; thickness of loop: 3.59mm. Weight: 5.18g.

A similar buckle has been published and dated c. 1250-1400 (Whitehead 1996: 34, ref: 192). However, this Isle of Wight buckle may be later.
