Description: | A cast copper-alloy single-looped medieval oval buckle frame with ornate outside edge. The frame's large outer edge has knopped ends which travel slightly outwards. Between the knops are numerous transverse grooves. The pin bar opposite is offset and narrowed. Its terminals are moulded. The tapering pin is of solid construction and is looped around the pin bar. There is a possible ridge at the collar. The upper surface has been scratched as a result of recent damage. The frame is bevelled both internally and externally on its upper surface faces. The lower surface is largely flat. The buckle has corroded to variable green colours. 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. A buckle of similar form can be found illustrated in Ottaway and Rogers (2002, 2888; ref. 14306).
