Description: | Medieval cast copper-alloy buckle, consisting of an oval loop with an integral plate. The oval loop has two knobs on its outer edge (the edge furthest away from plate) and there is a blocked rivet hole on the edge of the plate nearest to the loop, which probably would have held the pin (now missing). The plate tapers away from the loop and ends with a circular terminal which is moulded in a flower design. The reverse is plain and flat apart from a single lug on the tapering plate. No original surface has survived and the surface now shows a light brown patina. It measures 43.86mm in length, 20.72mm wide at its widest point and tapers to 8.08mm wide, 4.1mm thick and weighs 9.83g. Parallels can be found in Egan, G. and Pritchard, F. 1991. Medieval Finds from Excavations in London 3: Dress Accessories c. 1150 - c. 1450, p. 78-79, ref. 320-321. and Cuddeford, M. 2001. Identifying Buckles, p. 24, ref. 51.
