Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy single-looped medieval buckle frame with ornate outside edge, missing its plate. The frame's large outer edge has knopped ends which travel slightly outwards. Between the knops the frame is wide and plain apart from a central pin notch. The pin bar opposite is offset and narrowed, with part of the pin still attached; the shaft is bent around the loop, and is missing its tip. The frame is bevelled both internally and externally on its upper surface faces, far more gradually externally. The lower surface is largely flat but features shallow internal bevelling. The buckle has corroded to a dull grey colour, but with patches of white-grey indicating it was tinned. The pin is a covered in a bright green patina, indicating is it made from a different copper alloy. 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.
