Description: | A single looped cast copper alloy buckle. In plan the frame is a sub-'D' shape with a concave apex to the loop. This is intentional, rather than due to damage. The width and depth of the frame remains consistent and the strap bar is only slightly narrowed. The strap bar and frame is sub-rectangular in section. The surface of the frame is abraded and has red copper corrosion. The pin is cast copper alloy, which is triangular in plan and is narrowed as it curls around the strap bar. The buckle frame measures 17.65mm long from the curl of the pin to the outer loop and is 27.72mm wide across the frame. It weighs 3g. Margeson (Margeson, S. 1993 Norwich Households; Medieval and Post Medieval Finds from Norwich Survey Excavations 1971-78. East Anglian Archaeology Report No. 58) illustrates similar buckles (Nos. 146 and 147), described as a kidney shaped frame, and dates these to 15th to 16th centuries.
