Description: | A cast copper alloy single loop buckle of medieval date. The buckle measures 18.82mm by 15.23mm by 2.38mm and weighs 1.23g. The buckle frame is oval with an ornate outer edge consisting of a series of parallel horizontal grooved lines, flanked by two knops. 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 Pritchard's 'Medieval Dress Accessories' (1991, pp. 76-7, no. 319), although the London example has a plate and is made from iron. This buckle probably dates from the late twelfth to the late fourteenth century.
