Description: | A cast copper-alloy medieval single-looped buckle, probably dating to the period c. 1250 to 1500 AD. The buckle is single-looped and oval in shape with a lipped frame. The lipped part of the frame is decorated with three parallel grooved lines. The frame is sub-triangular in section. The pin is missing, however it was probably made from iron due to iron residue found on the bar. There is possibly a narrowed offset bar, however due to corrosion material this is unclear. The buckle shape does not fit precisely into either the Egan and Pritchard (1991) or Whitehead (1996) typologies. An example with the precise combination of its frame and section shape as well as the presence of a decorated lip and iron bar cannot be found. The buckle measures 40.16mm L x 37.84mm W and is 2.59mm thick. The buckle weighs 8.03g.
