Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy buckle. In plan the buckle is a 'D' shape with a second integral rectangular loop adjoining the original vertical bar of the frame. The apex of the frame has a square notch. Either end of the internal strap bar there is moulded decoration in the form of two transverse ridges. The frame is sub-oval in section whereas the two vertical bars are sub-rectangular in section. The surface is mottled with a light green patina. It measures 26.38mm long and 23.8mm wide. It weighs 3.8g and is in fair condition. The pin is missing. Egan and Pritchard (Egan and Pritchard 2002 Dress Accessories Boydell Press) illustrate a similar buckle, No. 472 which is dated to the first half of the 15th century.
