Description: | An incomplete Medieval cast copper-alloy single-looped buckle (c. 1175-c. 1375). The pin is missing. The frame is convex at the front, flat at the rear and sub-oval in plan. It has an enlarged ornate outside edge which has five transverse parallel grooves on the upper face. The strap bar is offset, narrowed and is sub-square in cross-section. The buckle has bronze disease. It is corroded and in poor condition and has traces of a mid to dark brown patina on both faces. 15.0 x 13.9 x 1.9mm. Weight: 0.99g. An almost identical example can be found in Egan and Pritchard (Egan, G and Pritchard, F. 1991 Medieval Finds From Excavations in London: 3. Dress Accessories c. 1150 - c. 1450, HMSO, London, p. 73, fig. 44, ref: 294). Egan suggests that these type of buckles date from the late 12th to late 14th centuries (p.76).
