Description: | An incomplete frame from a Medieval single-loop buckle.The frame would originally have been roughly 'D-shaped', but has lost its axis bar and part of one horizontal side. The intact horizontal side is bowed and of thin section. The vertical outer side is expanded, with two angled knops (grooved on one side) enclosing a pin rest of multiple transverse grooves and ridges. The piece measures 14.3mm long, 25mm wide and 3.9mm thick. The weight is 2.77g.Research carried out on buckles from Meols, Cheshire suggests that this form of frame dates from the mid 13th to 14th century (Griffiths et al. 2007: 89).
