Description: | The buckle has a single loop, D-shaped frame. In Egan and Pritchard there is a similar shaped frame (No. 271) dated generally to the 13th to 14th centuries. It has been made from cast copper alloy. The strap bar is off-set to the loop and narrowed. It is a sub-square in section. The loop expands in width towards the apex. The upper surface is decorated with a low-relief beaded border within which there are radiating grooves. The reverse of the frame is flat. The pin is an elongated triangle with a blunt tip. The pin is curled around the strap bar. The surface of the frame and pin has a light minty green coloured patina. The buckle measures 27.4mm long, 18.7mm wide and weighs 3.5g.
