Description: | A copper-alloy single-loop buckle of probable mid 13th to late 15th century AD date (R. Whitehead; 1996; pp. 18). The frame is roughly D-shaped and is narrow and deep in section. The plate is sub-rectangular, tapering slightly towards the attchment end and has been bent double around the axis bar. At the distal (frame) end is a central pin slot and the top and bottom edges have also been cut out to accommodate the deeply-set frame. The two sides of the plate are joined by a single copper-alloy rivet, which is located close to the centre of the proximal vertical edge. The pin sits within the pin slot, has been wound once around the axis bar and is semi-circular in section. The point of the pin rests on the outer edge of the frame. The buckle is in reasonable condition. It measures 27.3mm long, by 13mm wide and 5.4mm thick. It weighs 4.25g.
