Description: | A cast copper alloy single looped D-shaped buckle. The buckle has a narrowed and off-set strap bar. There is a slight swelling on the centre of the strap bar. The frame is uninterrupted; so therefore has no pin recess. The pin survives intact, it is possible that the pin is a secondary addition to the buckle, as it is larger than expected and has a different patina. The outer edge of the frame is wide and features raised swirlling designs. Gilding survives on this surface. The metal has lost most of its original surface and the metal is a dark reddish-brown colour and is pitted. This type of buckle dates from circa 1250 - 1500.
