Description: | A small cast copper-alloy single-looped medieval buckle frame with ornate outside edge. As a buckle this is an incomplete example in so far as it is missing its pin and plate. The frame's expanded outer edge has knopped ends which travel outwards slightly. Just inside either knop is a narrow transverse ridge which protrudes very slightly beyond the edge. A central V-shaped groove would have acted as a pin rest. The pin bar opposite is offset and narrowed. The frame between is shallowly bevelled both internally and externally on its upper surface faces; the lower surface is flat. The buckle has corroded to a dull grey-green colour. One half of the outer edge has been bent downwards as a result of old damage. In London similar buckles have been found in contexts dating from the 13th and 14th centuries. Duly, a wide date range is offered for this example.
