Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy single looped oval framed buckle (pin missing), with attached sheet copper alloy roller and plate, dating to the 13th/ 14th century AD (length: 35mm; width: 21mm; thickness: 4mm; weight: 5.06g).The sub-rectangular buckle has slightly protruding outside edges to either side, with the roller still connected at the end (length: 16mm; diameter: 4mm).The sheet rectangular plate is folded back on itself (length: 23mm; width: 16mm; thickness: 3mm) round the off set and narrowed strap bar, and is recessed for the frame with a central slot/ gap where the copper alloy pin would have originally been. There is a single centrally placed copper alloy rivet at the end of the plate, which would have attached the artefact to the end of an individual's belt.The buckle and plate are in a worn but fair condition with slight breaks at the edges of the plate. The artefact has a dark green patina.A similar example is illustrated in Egan & Pritchard's 'Dress Accessories c 1150 - c 1450', 2002, pages 76-7, fig 46, ref no 315.
