Description: | A complete copper alloy buckle of medieval date. The buckle is a single looped D-shape with a narrowed and offset strap bar. The outer edge of the loop of the buckle is slightly expanded with an inset collet, resembling the bezel of a finger ring, which bears traces of a white material within. This material is possibly the remnants of an adhesive material used to secure a glass stone, gem or enamel in the collet.The metal has a light brownish-green patina and is worn. The buckle is 18.6mm long, 26.5mm wide, 4.9mm thick and weighs 2.7g.A similar example is illustrated in Whitehead, p. 19, no.53 and is dated to circa AD 1250 -1500, though this example lacks the inset collet feature.
