Description: | The object is a fragment of a Medieval buckle dating to the mid 13th to mid 14th centuries. Ottaway and Rogers (Ottaway and Rogers 2002 Craft, Industry and Everyday Life: Finds from Medieval York) illustrate similar buckles, Figure 1466 No. 14298 and 14303 for example. The buckle is made from cast copper alloy. Only the outer edge of the loop remains (the sides, bar and pin are all missing). The present ends of the loop are not recent breaks. The outer edge is moulded with a thickened portion, the central part of which is narrowed, with a separate sheet roller of copper alloy set around it. The roller is decorated with linear grooves. The frame has a mid grey patina, the roller a mid green patina. The loop measures 25.71mm long, 10.67mm wide and 5.51mm thick. It weighs 4g.
