Description: | A corroded Medieval cast copper alloy single loop buckle. The buckle frame is oval with an offset and narrowed strap bar. The centre of the strap bar shows signs of preferential wear caused by the pin which is now missing. The frame opposite the strap bar is much thicker and is moulded into an ovate shape. The middle of this ovate section is waisted and set with a circular sheet roller that would function as a pin rest. The roller is decorated with four fine circumferential lines. Egan, Dress Accesories (1991) p77 No.317 shows a very similar example complete with its plate. It is dated through ceramic association to 1270 to 1350 AD.
