Description: | A cast, copper alloy, oval, single loop buckle with narrowed, offset strap bar and moulded frame, dating from c. 1350-1550. The outer edge of the buckle has two circular, raised knops in the centre, between which is a wide, shallow groove for the pin rest. Each of the knops carries a lozenge shape, in the centre of which is a punched dot. The outer edge is quite straight, with corners before the rounded sides of the frame. The frame of the buckle has three lobed mouldings on each side, perhaps representing petals. The bar is recessed and offset. The pin and plate are missing. The buckle has a dark brown patina. It is 24.5mm long, 27.1mm wide and 4mm thick. It weighs 3.97gm. The buckle has similarities with Meols type 10 buckles, which date from the late 14th century, but the decoration on the side is more similar to buckles on page 46 and 47 of Whitehead 2003. Buckles 1250 -1800 which date from the 15th century.
