Description: | A Medieval - Post Medieval copper alloy incomplete buckle (15th ?? 16th century). This is a double-looped buckle with a separate iron cross-bar that is no longer present, the pin is also missing. The frame has been elaborately cast with round ends moulded with a pin notch and a groove around the edges. The sides are concave each with triple reel-like moulding.
Dimensions: length: 37.16mm; width: 22.98mm; thickness: 2.75mm; weight: 7.85g.
A very similar example illustrated in Griffiths, Philpott & Egan (2007: 96,99 no 647 pl 16), the only difference is the Meols example has beading around the edges instead of the grooves on this example. The Meols buckle was dated to the 15th ?? 16th century.
