Description: | Medieval cast copper alloy buckle. The buckle is D-shaped with a narrowed offset bar with a single moulded knop at each end of the bar. The buckle loop is flat in profile but set at an angle so it would stand proud of the strap it was on. The buckle loop is narrow where it adjoins the bar at c.3.8mm thick but flares towards the outer edge of the loop where it measures 13.7mm wide although still being only 1.7mm thick. The buckle loop has a mid brown patina. The pin which is looped around the bar has a rich green patina. Buckles of this type, which often have associated decorative belt plates, are best dated in association with their plates which can be Romanesque (Anglo-Norman) in design. Such buckle plates can be dated to as early as the 11th century but the buckle style was in use up to the end of the 14th century. The majority of these buckles are typically dated 1200-1400. See SUSS-B4DBC4 for an early example.Due to the plain design of this buckle and the absence of a plate it has been dated as probably 1250-1400.Dimensions: 22.4mm length; 37.2mm width; 8.9g weight.
