Description: | A copper alloy Medieval buckle which has a D shaped frame with a recessed and offset strap bar. It probably dates from the 12th or early 13th century. The outer loop is not flat, but slopes outwards, so that the diameter of the base of the buckle is greater than that of the upper edge. The sloping face of the loop is decorated with five tick shaped recesses, which are gilded. The whole buckle, including the strap bar, shows signs of gilding. The pin is complete. Areas where the gilt is missing show a light green patina. One sheet of the buckle plate also survives. It is sub-rectangular, and has a slot for the pin. It has broken across the hinges. There is a single rivet hole in each of the two corners opposite the hinge. Similar examples on the PAS database are SWYOR-FA1353, NMS-9BBAE2, NMS-559B82 and NMS-2407F3.
