Description: | A cast copper-alloy single-looped medieval buckle frame with ornate outside edge, missing pin. The frame's large outer edge has knopped ends between which are two further rounded mouldings with transverse grooves between; the central groove acted as a pin rest. The pin bar opposite is offset and, on the upper surface, narrowed. The frame is bevelled both internally and externally on the upper surface, the latter more steeply. The lower surface is broadly flat. The buckle has a dark-grey patina with patches of off-white corrosion product. In London similar buckles have been found in contexts dating from the 13th and 14th centuries (Griffiths et al. 2007, 89, 91/Pl. 14; e.g. ref. 534). Duly, a wide date range is offered for this example.
