Description: | A worn medieval cast copper-alloy lipped single loop buckle with plate and pin. The frame of the buckle is long and thin (47.2mm x 19.7mm) with one centrally placed angular protrusion with a transverse notch on the outer edge. The frame is squared-off at the corners of the pin bar, with the pin narrowed and offset (but hidden by the frame, which is flush with the buckle frame). The buckle plate is equally long and thin (39.2mm x 13.1mm), with two in situ rivets, which although flat on the front face both protrude from the reverse (by max of 3.3mm). The plate is made from one piece of folded copper alloy sheet of a similar composition to the frame and pin. The pin (16.7mm x 5.1mm) sits within a slot in the plate to allow it to curl around the pin bar. The pin is plain and is now fixed in position by corrosion. The buckle is dark brown with large patches of a dark green patina and a light brown corrosion. A similar buckle in Whitehead (1996, 20; ref. 73) has been dated to the mid 14th to mid 15th century.
