Description: | A copper-alloy frame from a Medieval single-loop buckle.The frame is roughly 'D-shaped', its top and bottom sides and offset axis bar being of rectangular section. The outer side is wider and has an attached sheet-metal roller at the centre, the surface of which bears a number of longitudinal ridges. A pair of simple, sub-conical mouldings flank this roller. The pin is missing.Length: 22.7mm; width: 31.8mm; thickness: 6mm; weight: 5.52g.Research into similar buckles from Meols, Merseyside, suggests that this form, with a broad sheet-metal roller, probably dates from the late 13th to early 14th century (Griffiths et al 2007: 90, nos. 554 - 558).
