Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy oval framed buckle with ornate outside edge, dating to the 13th - 15th century, between AD 1250 - 1450 (length: 19.5mm; width: 23mm; thickness: 5mm; weight: 4.2g).This oval-framed buckle has round lobed protrusions on the outside edge and either side of a sheet roller, which is partly decorated with irregular, parallel and incised linear markings. The sides of the buckle frame are D-shaped in side section and curve outwards and the strap bar is offset and narrowed. Addtionally, the pin is missing. There is no other decoration on the buckle and overall, the artefact is in a slightly worn but good condition with a dark green patina.A similar example is illustrated in Egan, G & Pritchard, F, 2002 edition, 'Medieval Finds from Excavations in London: 3: Dress Accessories c. 1150 - c. 1450', pages 76-7, fig 46, ref no 317. Another example of this type of buckle is also illustrated in Egan & Pritchard, pages 73-4, fig 44, ref no 301.
