Description: | A cast copper alloy oval single loop buckle with rectangular folded sheet plate, of medieval date. The outside edge of the frame protrudes at each end and there is a central notch for the pin, which is missing. The bar is offset. The plate is recessed for the frame and has a slight transverse ridge next to the slot for the pin. One integrally cast rivet is centrally placed towards the end of the plate. It affixes through a corresponding hole on the other side. The buckle is similar (albeit a little larger) to no. 316 in Egan and Pritchard's 'Dress Accessories' (1991, pp. 76-77). The type was in use from the late 12th to the late 14th centuries.
Dimensions: 25.61mm by 24.66mm by 6.05mm (buckle), 37.02mm by 16.45mm by 7.64mm (plate)
