Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy oval framed buckle, dating to the 14th/ 15th century, between AD 1300 - 1500 (length: 20mm; width: 28mm; thickness: 2mm; weight: 2.2g).This buckle is oval in plan and D-shaped in side section. There is no decoration along the outside edge of the frame, although there are small moulded terminals at either end of the strap bar, which is also offset and narrowed. The pin is missing and there is no evidence of a small notch where the pin would have originally rested along the outside opposing edge. The back of the buckle is also flat and undecorated. Overall, the buckle is in a worn but fair condition with a dark green/ brown patina.A similar example (although earlier in date) is illustrated in Egan, G & Pritchard, F, 2002 edition, 'Medieval Finds from Excavations in London: 3: Dress Accessories c. 1150 - c. 1450', pages 68 & 70, ref no 271.
