Description: | A copper alloy buckle dating form the medieval period. The buckle has a D shaped frame with a widener outer edge and a recessed bar which is not offset. The outer edge is decorated with three transverse incised grooves which are not central. They probably acted as a pin rest too. The pin and plate are missing. Traces of a white metal coating survive in the grooves. The rest of the frame is undecorated. It is 25.2mm long, 21.9mm wide and 3.8mm thick. The metal has a glossy green patina and is in good condition. A similar but larger buckle is number 399 in Egan and Pritchard's (1991) Dress Accessories. It dates from c. 1250 - 1350 and a parallel date can be attributed to this example.
