Description: | Medieval cast copper alloy single looped buckle with integral plate. The frame is oval with a slight expansion into a pointed pin rest with transverse incised line at the middle of the outer edge. The integral plate is sub- rectangularin plan with a slight taper from the loop end towards the strap end. It is trapizoid in section witha wider back than front and bevelled sides. It has a hole near the frame loop for the pin to loop through and two for rivets, one near the centre and one at the strap end. All three are filled with iron corrosion suggesting the pin and rivets were iron. It is 48.7mm long, 19.4mm wide, 4.4mm thick and weighs 10.35 grams. Whitehead (2003) illustrates a similar buckle (page 33, No.186) which he dates to c.1250-1400 AD.
