Description: | An incomplete Medieval (1250-1500) copper-alloy single-loop buckle frame, missing its pin. Measures 20.66x35.01x7.58mm (internal 10.25x29.10mm) and weighs 9.10g.The buckle frame is D-shaped with thickened and rounded outside edge and central notch (extending from the inside edge) for the pin. To either side are the remains of two lines of punched triangles. The axis bar is narrowed (c.1.6mm diameter) and offset, with a moulding at either end where it joins the frame. The centre is kinked inwards, presumably through wear. Almost all the original patina is lost, though survives in particular around the area of decoration to either side of the central notch.Similar buckle frames can be seen in Whitehead (1996, p.19), which he dates from the mid-thirteenth to fifteenth century.
