Description: | A complete cast copper alloy buckle of medieval date. The buckle is an asymmetrical double loop sub-oval shape with separate strap and pin bars. The main loop is oval with a notch for the pin and the integral strap loop is rectangular. Iron corrosion around the pin bar and notch suggest the pin was constructed of iron though it no longer remains. The buckle appears undecorated.The metal has a mid brownish-green patina and is worn. The buckle is 50.9mm long, 43.9mm wide, 4.9mm thick and weighs 19.6g.A parallel is illustrated in Whitehead, p.87, no.538 and is dated to circa AD 1350 - 1450.
