Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy trapezoidal shaped buckle, with a strap bar (which has broken in the centre). The front surface of the buckle has bevelled edges, but the reverse is flat, resulting in a D-shaped section. The strap bar is uninterrupted; so therefore has no pin recess. The strap bar is off set to the rest of the frame. The pin is missing. There is some decoration on the buckle in the form of an engraved line parallel to the edge of the shortest side of the frame. The metal has lost most of its original surface and the metal is a mid greenish-brown colour and is heavily pitted. All breaks are well worn. This type of buckle dates from circa 1350 - 1700. Parallels for this type of buckle can be seen in Whitehead, 2003, p75.
