Description: | A cast copper alloy single loop buckle of medieval date. The buckle measures 22.33mm by 20.23mm by 3.4mm and weighs 3.33g. The frame is slightly distorted but was formerly oval with an ornate outer edge consisting of three horizontal grooves flanked by two prominent knops. The central groove could have functioned as a notch for the pin. The strap bar is offset and narrowed and the pin is missing. The back of the buckle is flat and undecorated. A similar buckle can be seen in Egan and Prichard's 'Medieval Dress Accessories' (1991, pp. 73-4, no. 299), although this example has an extra groove on the outside edge. This buckle probably dates from the late twelfth to the late fourteenth century.
