Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy single-loop buckle. Examples of this form of buckle, which has an integral forked spacer, were found at Meols, Merseyside, and are common finds throughout England. The stratigraphic evidence from excavations in London, York and Coventry suggests a date of late 14th to possibly early 16th century AD (Griffiths et al, 2007, p. 93). The frame is roughly D-shaped in plan, extending to a pointed pin rest at the centre. The surface of the frame slopes downwards and outwards and bears numerous file marks. The transition between the frame and forked spacer is marked on each side by a groove. The copper-alloy wire pin is looped around the short axis bar. The spacer has a wide, flat area either side of the central gap and steps into two tapering points, the upper one being damaged. The underside of the buckle is flat. The object measures 38.2mm long, 21.9mm wide and 4.2mm thick. The weight is 4.9g.
