Description: | A single looped cast copper alloy buckle. The buckle frame is a sub rectangle in plan. The strap bar is narrowed and off-set. The sides of the loop are convex on the exterior and concave on the interior edge. In section the sides of the frame are sub oval. The portion of the loop opposite the strap bar is decorated and expanded with three transverse ribs. The pin is missing. The frame has traces of a dark green/brown coloured patina, but there is some active corrosion as well. The buckle measures 25.43mm wide from side to side and 20.57mm long. It weighs 3.3g. Egan and Pritchard (2002 Dress Accessories Boydell Press) illustrates a similar shaped buckles, Nos. 292 and 319 and dates these types to the late 12th to the late 14th century.
