Description: | A copper alloy buckle frame and pin which dates from the medieval period. The frame is oval with a thickened and slightly projecting outer edge. The bar is narrowed and offset. The frame is 15.3mm long, 14.7mm wide and 5.3mm thick. The pin is a thick strip of metal which is looped round the bar. The plate is missing. The buckle has a patina that ranges in colour from dark green to light orangey brown, but the metal is in good condition. A similar but more ornate parallel is number 312 on page 77 of "Dress Accessories" by Egan and Pritchard (1991). It dates from 1150 - 1200, but the style is common until 1350. A similar date is suggested for this example.
