Description: | Medieval cast copper alloy single loop buckle frame. The frame is oval with an elaborate expanded outer edge formed of 4 lobes, the outer two seperated from the inner by raised collars and the inner two divided by a deep central groove forming a pin rest. The strap bar is narrowed and offset and in the centre is iron corrosion, probably the remains of the pin. Pin and strap plate are missing. The frame measures 21.01mm x 18.47mm and 4.28mm thick and weighs 2.51gms. Whitehead (2003) page 23 No.100 illustrates a similar example. Egan and Prichard (1991:76) suggest this is a variety in use from the late 12th to late 14th century.
