Description: | A cast copper alloy single loop buckle of medieval date. The buckle measures 24.02mm by 18.14mm by 2.65mm and weighs 2.37g. The buckle frame is oval with an ornate outer edge consisting of four knops, which are defined by horizontal grooves. The central groove could have functioned as a notch for the pin. The strap bar is offset and narrowed and there is a slot for the (missing) pin. The back of the buckle is flat and undecorated. There are a number of parallels in Egan and Pritchard's 'Medieval Dress Accessories', including one with a plate (1991, pp. 72-78, nos. 292, 302 and 318). This buckle probably dates from the late twelfth to the late fourteenth century.
