Description: | A copper-alloy frame and pin from a single-loop buckle of medieval date. Evidence from excavations in London suggest that the fashion for ornate buckle frames and plates probably spanned the period of the late 12th to late 14th centuries AD (G. Egan and F. Pritchard; 1991; pp.76).The frame is roughly D-shaped and has convex upper and lower surfaces. At the centre of the outer edge is a moulded pin rest, comprising a central groove, three transverse ridges above and three below. The offset axis bar is of circular section. The wire pin has been wound once around the axis bar and is complete.The piece measures 17.4mm long, 19.7mm wide and 3.9mm thick. The weight is 2.05g.
