Description: | A small copper alloy buckle with double oval loop frame and central bar dateable to 1350-1400 AD. The buckle is slightly bent symmetrically about the axis of the central bar and the frame is flattened in cross section. These two features might suggest that the buckle would originally have had a plate attached to the central bar. The frame is decorated on either loop with a foliate design. The pin is missing. The buckle is 31.02mm long, 19.54mm wide, 2.25mm thick and weighs 4.71g. It has not been possible to find an exact parallel for this buckle, although one from the Billingsgate Lorry Park watching brief, London, 1983 is of simiar size and profile but without the decorative features of this buckle. The Billingsgate buckle has been dated from 1350-1400 AD (Egan & Pritchard, 1991, 88-9, no.386).
