Description: | A cast copper alloy buckle frame. In plan it is a sub 'D' shape and loop is slightly expanded towards its apex. In section the loop is sub 'D' shape. The strap bar is a similar width to the frame which is sub-oval in section. The surface of the frame is abraded and has lost its original surface. The length from the strap bar to the apex of the loop is 15.4mm, and it is 17.28mm wide. It weighs 2.4g. Whitehead (Whitehead, R. 1996 Buckles 1250-1800 Greenlight Publishing) illustrates a similar buckle, No. 40 and dates it to the mid 13th to 15th century.The surface condition may suggest a slightly later date, therefore the wider dating is from the mid 13th to 17th century.
