Description: | A medieval cast copper-alloy single looped oval buckle with integral plate. Oval shaped frame with a slight protrusion adjacent to the pin recess. Attached to the opposite side of the frame is the short integral plate, which is roughly square-shaped. The plate has a notch cut out on the opposite side forming two small extensions. These are formed by a bend in the plate, therefore forming the backplate. The space in between the folded bend is filled with the remains of an iron pin. Where the plate joins onto the frame there are two grooves, in the centre of which there is an aperture where the pin is attached. The pin remains in situ. The pin is tapered, the other end is bent over to form an open loop. The metal is a mid greenish-brown with patches of pitted. Buckles of this type usually date from between AD 1250 to 1400. Similar to examples in Egan and Pritchard, p.79 and 81, fig. 48 and 49.
