Description: | A complete medieval cast copper-alloy single loop buckle with its pin surviving in situ. The bar is narrowed, offset and recessed to take the cast copper-alloy pin, of a different alloy and now of a lighter colour. The pin has a collar before the loop. The outer edge has a protruding pointed lip with a notched centre for the pin to rest in formed by an incised line. The buckle is in good condition and measures 12.5 mm L x 16.1 mm W, and weighs 0.6 g. It now has a dark-green patina with slight pitting.Similar buckles are illustrated in Egan (2007, 91) e.g. nos. 496-497. These examples are categorised as a Meols type 4 and it is suggested they date from the late 14th century (ibid, 88).
