Description: | A complete cast copper alloy buckle of Medieval date (c. AD 1350 - c. 1400). Length: 23.2mm; width: 29.0mm and 11.3mm thick. Weight: 4.68g.The frame is oval in plan with a narrowed offset bar. It is slightly convex at the front and largely flat at the rear. At the centre of the outside edge there is a modest lip with an indistinct notch for the pin. The bar is sub-rectangular in cross-section and measures 3.3mm x 2.6mm. The copper alloy pin is fused to the bar by corrosive deposits. The shaft of the pin is slightly convex on its upper face and distinctly concave on the underside. It has a length of 21.4mm and a maximum width (at the loop) of 4.9mm. Both the frame and the pin are corroded and small patches of a mid-green patina have survived on each. The frame has numerous coarse file marks.This buckle frame is similar in size and shape to one found in archaeological excavations at Trig Lane, Upper Thames Street, London. The London buckle has been dated c. 1350-c. 1400 (Egan and Pritchard 1991, 70, fig. 42, ref. 282).
