Description: | Medieval cast copper alloy buckle frame. The frame is broadly 'D' shaped in plan, with a protruding pointed lip for the pin in the centre of the outer edge. The lip has a notched centre for the pin to rest in formed by an incised line. This is flanked with smaller incised lines at either side. The frame is broadly D-shaped in section with a flattened inner side. The strap bar is offset and recessed and oval in section. The pin is missing. It measures 25.0mm long, 18.9mm wide and 2.4mm thick; it weighs 1.95g.Similar buckles are illustrated in Egan (2007:91) e.g. no.496-7. These examples are categorised as a Meols type 4 and it is suggested they date from the late 14th centuries (ibid:88).
