Description: | Complete copper alloy medieval ornate buckle. The frame of the buckle is oval in plan with a semicircular section. The pin bar is offset and narrowed. To the front of the frame is a rectangular knop with four transverse grooved lines to its upper face. The reverse of the buckle is flat and plain. The buckle is abraded but most of the original surface survives with a dark green patina. The pin survives and is simply curled around the pin bar. This is more abraded than the frame and is light green in colour, being little more than a piece of wire. The buckle is 14.7mm long, 13.76m wide, 2.32mm thick at the knop and weighs 1.32g. Buckles of this type date from the late 12th to 14th centuries. A similar buckle can be seen in Egan and Pritchard, 1991, Dress Accessories, figure 46, number 319.
