Description: | Incomplete cast copper buckle of Medieval date. The buckle is of D-shaped single looped type with a pointed outer edge and narrowed offset strap bar. The buckle pin is missing. The outer edge of the buckle frame is triangular in shape with a central incised groove forming the pin rest. To either side of the pin rest there are grooves radiating outwards (4 on one side, 3 on the other) with raised ridges between (3 on one side, 2 on the other). The underside of the buckle is not entirely flat but has angled edges, creating a bevelled effect, the same is tru of the upper part of the inside of the loop. File marks are notable on all surfaces of the buckle. The buckle is noticeably, although not markedly, asymmetrical.Buckles of this type are dated to the thirteenth to fifteenth centuries, c.1200-1400.
