Description: | An incomplete copper alloy medieval buckle. The frame consists of two loops, one broadly rectangular and the other broadly oval. An integral copper alloy central bar divides the two loops. On the front of both of the loops there are moulded transverse ribs, which form a pronounced outside edge on the oval loop. The frame has a broadly D-shaped section, with a curved front and broadly flat reverse. The reverse is undecorated. The buckle has a pitted variable green and brown coloured surface. The frame is twisted through almost 90 degrees on the oval loop, and one edge narrows to a complete break. The frame is 12.9mm long, 13.7mm wide, and 1.9mm thick. These are maximum dimensions. The frame has a mass of 0.8g. The buckle is broadly similar to object 636, identified as a medieval buckle in "Meols, the Archaeology of the North Wirral Coast" (Egan, 2007, pl 15 and p 96, in Griffiths, et. al. 2007).
