Description: | The buckle is cast copper alloy. In plan it is a sub-oval shape with slightly off-set strap bar. The strap bar is sub-rectangular in section. The sides of the loop are convex on the exterior and concave on the interior. The edge of the loop opposite the strap bar is off-set and has a narrowed section which has a separate sheet of copper alloy curled around this portion of the loop forming a roller. The roller and frame are undecorated. The pin is missing. The frame and roller have a dark green incomplete patina. Around the strap bar a buckle plate is folded in half forming a rectangular plate. In the centre of the fold there is a slot to allow for the pin. The plate is undecorated. At the opposite terminal to the fold there is a rivet hole in each plate with the remains of a copper alloy rivet in place. The plate has dark green coloured patina. The buckle and frame measures 43.23mm long from the strap bar to the outer edge of the roller, and 30.04mm wide. It weighs 10.9g. Ottaway and Rogers (Ottaway and Rogers 2002 Craft, Industry and Everyday Life: Finds from Medieval York) illustrate similar buckles, Figure 1466 No. 14298 and 14303. This style of buckle probably dates to the 13th to 14th centuries.
