Description: | A Medieval cast copper alloy buckle. In plan it is a sub-oval shape with slightly off-set straight strap bar which 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. The buckle measures 15.74mm long and 15.65mm wide. It weighs 1.2g. Ottaway and Rogers (Ottaway and Rogers 2002 Craft, Industry and Everyday Life: Finds from Medieval York) illustrate similar buckles, Figure 1466; Nos. 14298 and 14303. This style of buckle probably dates to the 13th to 14th centuries.
