Description: | A cast copper alloy single looped D shaped buckle of medieval date (c.1350 to 1450 AD).The buckle frame is broadly D shaped in plan, with a broad D shape cross section. At the centre of the frame, a single angular pointed projection with a U shaped notch as pin rest is present. The strap bar is off set. The pin and buckle plate are missing, presumably lost in antiquity.The buckle frame is a mid green colour with an even but slightly abraded patina covering all surfaces. The patina has been damaged in a few locations by abrasion in the plough soil.The buckle frame measures 15.50mm in length, 16.96mm in width, 2.04mm thick and weighs 1.4 grams.Similar buckle styles are depicted in Whitehead (2003), page 20, illustrations 70, 75 and 76. These are all dated to the late Medieval period, c.1350 to 1450.Reference:Whitehead, R. 2003. Buckles 1250-1800. Greenlight Publishing, Witham, Essex.
