Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy single-loop buckle of probable late medieval date. This form of buckle, which has a frame attached to a forked spacer, has been found in 14th and 15th century levels in London (G. Egan and F. Pritchard; 1991; pp. 78).The frame is D-shaped and has a pointed pin rest at the centre of the outer edge. The frame extends into the forked spacer, only one arm of which survives; this has a stepped inner edge and horizontal outer edge. The exis bar is also integral to the rest of the buckle frame and consists of a short segment of circular section at the frame end of a narrow slot between the two forks. The pin, which is incomplete, is made from a tapering piece of copper-alloy wire which has been wound once around the axis bar. The buckle plates are missing.The object measures 43mm long, 27.9mm high and 4.4mm thick; it weighs 4.88g.
