Description: | A copper alloy buckle dating from the medieval period. The single looped buckle is 23.44mm long, 21.9 wide, 4.02mm thick, and weighs 2.9 grams. It has a recessed and offset bar which has two rings of wear in the centre. The outer edge is decorated with projecting spherical knops, one at each end of the outer edge, and five grooves in the centre. The middle grove acts as the pin rest but the pin is missing, as is the plate. The reverse is flat and undecorated. Traces of tinning survive on the frame which has a mid green patina. Similar buckles can be seen on pages 22 and 23 of "Buckles" by Whitehead (2003, no.87) and are dated to 1250 - 1400.
