Description: | A fragment of Medieval cast copper-alloy single-looped buckle.The frame of the buckle is a flattened oval in cross-section and sub-oval in plan. It is has an enlarged ornate outside edge which has transverse parallel ribs on the upper face with a distinct pin-notch in the centre which extends out onto a pointed projection. At each end of the outside edge there is a small rounded knop. There are the remains of a strap bar, offset and narrowed and circular in cross-section. The rest of the strap bar, the pin and one side of the frame are missing.A similar example can be found in Egan and Pritchard, Dress Accessories c. 1150 - c. 1450, p. 73, fig. 44, ref: 297. Egan suggests that these type of buckles date c. 1350-c. 1400.
