Description: | A Medieval - Post Medieval copper alloy buckle probably dating late 15th - early 16th century. The buckle is single looped with an offset cross bar for the attachment of the pin. The pin is no longer present. The outer edge of the frame (where the pin would rest) is angled so that only the outer edge touches when it is laid flat. There is no pin rest.Chris Marshall lists a similar example with a suggested date range c. AD1450 - 1550. Egan & Pritchard (1991:70 no. 271) also illustrate a similar example in shape but the outer edge of the frame lies flat as opposed to angled as per the above buckle. The authors record that no. 271 was excavated from a context dating c.AD1200 - 1230 and they write "the longevity of this simple form may have ended by the turn of the 15th century."Dimensions: length: 20.46mm; width: 26.37mm; thickness: 2.41mm; weight: 1.98g.Reference: http://www.netmarshall.co.uk/bucklepage13.htm
