Description: | A bent and incomplete copper-alloy frame from a single-loop buckle of medieval date. Evidence from excavations in London suggests 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 would originally have been roughly D-shaped. The curved top and bottom sides are narrow and deep. The majority of the outer edge is occupied by a moulded pin rest, with rounded top and bottom edges and a transverse central pin slot. The pin and axis bar are missing.The piece measures 23.3mm long, 32.8mm wide and 3.9mm thick. The weight is 6.07g.
