Description: | The object is a buckle with an integral buckle plate. It is made from cast copper alloy. Egan and Pritchard have similar buckles, No. 320 and 321. The Ashmolean example is dated to the mid 13th to mid 14th centuries. The buckle frame has an oval shaped frame. The apex of the loop is expanded and rectangular in plan. The buckle plate is integral to the bar opposite the apex of the loop. The plate is sub-rectangular in plan, with the terminal forming an inverted 'L' shape due to damage. There was probably originally a rivet hole here. The damage is not recent. There are two more holes in a row nearer the buckle frame. The first hole has the pin through it. The pin is a cast elongated triangle which is curled at the terminal opposite the blunt tip. The pin has a mid green patina, whereas the frame and plate have a mid green/grey coloured patina. The buckle frame and plate measure 30.7mm long, the frame is 12.2mm and weighs 1.77g.
