Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy single-looped buckle of probable Medieval date (c. 1150-c. 1450).The frame is 'D'-shaped in plan, convex at the front and flat at the rear with a narrowed off-set bar. The frame is broadly 'D'-shaped in cross-section. It has a pair of grooved lobes at the outside edge which form a wide pin rest and there are similar lobes at each end of the bar. The bar is sub-circular in cross-section. However, its present shape may be due to wear and corrosion. On top of the bar, close to the centre, there is a speck of iron staining that may indicate that the missing pin was made of iron. There is no iron staining elsewhere.This buckle frame is generally corroded and has traces of a shiny mid-green patina.Length: 24.9mm; width: 31.1mm; thickness: 6.1mm. Maximum diameter of bar: 2.9mm. Weight: 10.36g.
