Description: | A small, complete cast copper-alloy single-looped buckle of medieval date. The buckle frame is oval with a lipped outer edge. The pin bar is offset and possibly also narrowed. The lower surface of the frame is flat while the upper surface is bevelled externally. The lip features a central transverse groove in which the pin rests. The pin itself is of bent wire construction and is of a similar alloy to the rest of the buckle. The small plate (L.: 14.45mm) is of folded construction. It is bent around the pin bar with a slot for the pin. There is a rivet hole at the attachment end with its rivet in situ. The plate tapers from 8.05mm just below the frame recess to 6.5mm at the attachment end. The whole has a dull mid-dark green colour. Buckle frames of similar form and size can be found illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 74-75; refs. 306-309). They have been found in London in contexts dating to the late 13th and 14th centuries.
