Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy single looped and sub-circular buckle, dating from the 12th-14th century AD (length: 22.5mm; width: 36mm; thickness: 3mm; weight: 5.36g).A plain and undecorated D-sectioned buckle frame (the pin is now missing) with a narrowed strap bar and a small notch (length: 4mm; width: 1mm) in the centre of the outside edge where the pin would have originally rested. The buckle frame is angular in form, comprised of five main sides that are particularly noticeable along the outside edge. There are numerous scratch marks along the surface of the buckle, and overall, the artefact is in a slightly worn but fair condition with a dark green/ brown patina.A similar example is illustrated in Egan & Pritchard's 'Dress Accessories c 1150 - c 1450', 2002, pages 68-9, ref no 264, ref no 264.
