Description: | A single looped cast copper alloy buckle. The buckle frame is a 'D' shape in plan. It has an off-set and narrowed strap bar which is oval in section and is slightly crumpled due to damage. The frame tapers in width towards the strap bar, and is at its widest at the apex of the frame. The reverse of the frame is obliquely angled. The upper face is decorated with a lower row of small circular indentations. The frame has a mid green coloured shiny patina. The pin is missing. It measures 27.35mm wide and 16.29mm long from the apex of the frame to the strap bar. It weighs 4g.Egan and Pritchard (2002 Dress Accessories Boydell Press) illustrates a similar buckle (No. 304), and dates these types of buckle to the mid 12th to the later 13th century.
