Description: | A slightly incomplete cast copper alloy single looped D-shaped buckle, dating from the 12th-15th century AD (length: 25mm; width: 27mm; thickness: 6mm; weight: 7.14g).A decorative frame with the strap bar off set and narrowed. The frame is unevenly expanded along the sides and the outside edge, with a large notch (length: 6.5mm; width: 3mm) in the centre of the outside edge to hold the pin. Only half of the cast copper alloy pin survives (length: 14mm; width: 3mm), and is still curled round the strap bar. The back of the buckle is flat and undecorated.The buckle is in a worn and corroded condition with several patches of bronze disease, but overall has a light green patina.Similar examples of this buckle are illustrated in Egan & Pritchard's 'Dress Accessories c 1150 - c 1450', 2002, pages 68 & 70, ref no 274, and pages 74-5, ref nos 303-305.
