Description: | Medieval cast copper alloy buckle frame and plate, the pin is missing. The frame is rectangular with a recessed strap bar and slightly longer, widened, outer edge. The outer edge is triangular in section with a flat inner side and back and bevelled front; at the centre of the front are three incised transverse grooves. On the outer side of the top and bottom edges are two raised transverse lines, one near the strap bar and one near the outer edge on both. The strap plate is formed of a simple piece of copper alloy sheet bent in half over the strap bar. It is rectangular but the back plate narrows slightly towards the attachment end where there is a single, central, separate. copper- alloy rivet. At the other end of the strap plate there is a pin slot and the corners are cut out to fit the frame. There are traces of iron around the pin slot on the front which may be the remains of the pin. The frame is 12.8mm long, 11.7mm wide and 2.1mm thick. The plate is 21.1mm long, 8.4mm wide and 3.5mm thick including the rivet. It weighs 1.50 grams in total.This is a Meols type C, similar to p.98-9, no.710 which is dated to the late 14th century (Egan 2008).
