Description: | Incomplete Medieval single looped buckle with attached plate. The buckle has a D-shaped section with a flat back. It is kidney-shaped in plan with a concave curved outer edge, convex curved sides and a straight strap bar. The strap bar is narrowed and the pin is missing. In the central of the outside edge is an indented triangular pin-rest. The buckle plate has been formed by folding a sheet of copper alloy around the strap bar. There is a slot for the buckle pin. On the reverse, the plate is simple, and is shaped like a triangle, narrowing from the strap bar to a rounded point at the strap attachment end. Just before the point is a small circular rivet hole. The front plate is trapizoid, widening out from the strap bar then turning inwards with rounded shoulders. There is a pointed knop on one of the short edges just beyond the strap bar and traces of another on the opposite edge. From the centre of the long edge opposite the buckle frame projects a large trifoliate shape, missing one of the side leaves, the centre of the trifoliate projection is pierced with a circular rivet hole. The buckle and plates both have a dark red patina with patches of bright green. The buckle measures 28.2mm long, 37.3mm wide and 4.4mm thick. It weighs 5.01grams. Margeson (1993) illustrates a similar buckle with a slightly plainer plate, p.27-8, No.146 which she suggests dates to the 15th century.
