Description: | A late Medieval - early Post Medieval copper alloy buckle dating 15th - 16th century. This buckle has a single-looped frame with a triangular cross-section. The cross-bar is stepped in from the frame and has a circular cross-section. The centre of the outer edge of the frame curves inward creating a bi-lobed profile and there is a small central square boss where the pin rests. There may be decoration on the outer surface but the patina and corrosion is obscuring the detail. The pin is a fairly crudely shaped piece of sheet copper alloy which has been wrapped around the cross-bar and it is likely this is a repair. The copper alloy has a pale green patina with patches of the red base metal showing through.Dimensions: length: 15.97mm; width: 29.35mm; thickness: 3.03mm; weight: 3.01g.
