Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy single loop sub rectangular buckle frame, with roller, of late Medieval dating (c. AD 1350 to AD 1400).The buckle frame consists of a sub rectangular frame, with a narrowed and offset bar, and an expanded outer edge. A copper alloy sheet roller has been wrapped around the outer edge.The buckle frame measures 16.49 mm in length, 22.98 mm wide and 4.00 mm thick. It weighs 2.1 grams.The buckle is a mid green colour, with an uneven surface patina. Abrasion has resulted in the loss of surface detail and patina from the edges and flat surfaces.Single loop sub rectangular buckles are a common find and there are a number of similar published examples (Whitehead, 1996, p27, #138; Egan, 2002, p76, fig 46, #315). They are dated to the later medieval period (c. AD 1350 to AD 1400).References:Egan, G. (2002) Buckles in Egan & Pritchard (2002). p50-123.Egan, G. and Pritchard, F. (2002) Dress Accessories.
