Description: | A Medieval copper alloy single oval loop buckle of Meols type 10, complete with pin but damaged/collapsed form. The buckle measures 31.71x16.91mm with a thickness of 4.44mm and weighs 7.1g. The pin measures 26.66mm.The oval frame has an ornate outer edge consisting of three horizontal grooves flanked by two prominent knops. The central groove could have functioned as a notch for the pin but the buckle is now disfigured. The bar also has two prominent knops which maybe decorative or the remains of a second loop. A similar and more complete buckle can be seen in Egan and Prichard's 'Medieval Dress Accessories' (1991, pp. 73-4, no. 299), although this example has an extra groove on the outside edge. This buckle probably dates from the late twelfth to the late fourteenth century.
