Description: | A slightly incomplete cast copper alloy oval-framed buckle with a narrowed offset bar, dating from the 13th/ 14th century AD (length: 12mm; width: 15mm; thickness: 2mm; weight: 0.92g).As well as having remaining patches of a tin coating, the bar protrudes at the sides. One one side of the buckle, there are approximately five decorative grooves along the buckle frame's outside edge, which also have a dual function of providing a resting place for where the pin would have originally sat. Although the copper alloy pin is hooked around the stap bar, it is only half its original length. There is no other decoration on the buckle, and the artefact is in a worn but fair condition with small areas of bronze disease on the pin and the inside of the buckle frame.A similar artefact is illustrated in Egan & Pritchard's 'Dress Accessories c. 1150 - c. 1450', 2002 edition, pages 68 & 70, fig 42, ref no 274.
