Description: | A cast, copper alloy buckle, with a curved frame and a narrowed strap bar set back from the frame, dating from c. 1400-1500. The outer edge of each loop is decorated with four deep grooves, giving it a toothed appearance. There is further lateral and transverse grooved decoration on the outer edge of each loop. Whitehead suggests that these buckles may have had a specialized function, such as fastenings for armour. The buckle has a rough, light green patina. It is 33.3mm long, 26.7mm wide and 6.2mm thick. It weighs 10.25gm. Reference: Whitehead, Buckles 1250-1800, p.77, No. 476.
