Description: | A medieval cast copper-alloy single-looped buckle with integral plate. The frame is oval, with a protruding lip central on the outer edge. It features a deep transverse groove for the pin; this latter is now missing. The perforation for the pin on the opposite edge is locate within a section that curves into the frame's recess. The upper surfaces of the frame is bevelled externally while the lower surface is flat. The integral plate is, at its centre, parallel-sided with a low semicircular cross-section. A pair of wider collars separate the plate from the frame, with a further such collar at the opposite end, where there is an elongated drop-shaped terminal with central lobed knop. There is a rivet hole in the collar nearest the plate at the frame end and a second hole at the start of the drop-shaped terminal. Neither rivet survives. The attachment end has been twisted slightly following old damage. The buckle has a dark-green patina with pitted areas of mid-green brighter corrosion product.A similar buckle was found at Meols, Merseyside (Griffiths et al. 2007, 104/Pl. 17; no. 770). Buckles of this form probably date from the 13th to 14th century.
