Description: | A medieval cast copper alloy buckle. The buckle has a rectangular frame with an integrally cast anthropomorphic king's head design in high relief. Although the facial features are worn, grooves visible on either side of the head may represent hair, and the crown is perforated with four holes, creating an openwork design.There are losses to the apex of the crown, and the dark brown surface patina is coated with a powdery red-brown corrosion product.Ross Whitehead states that these buckles date to the fourteenth century (Buckles 1250-1800, p 42).
