Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy single-looped D-shaped buckle frame. The buckle dates to the Medieval period, circa 1250-1400. The strap bar and pin are missing due to old breaks. In plan, the narrow, gently curving sides of the frame meet at an expanded front with a sub square terminus. There is a knop at both corners of the terminus. There are traces of gilding on the front of the buckle frame. The decoration is uncertain owing to corrosion, but the gilding appears to be in chevron bands. The apex of each chevron is joined by a traverse line which would reflect the position of the missing pin. The reverse of the buckle is flat and undecorated. The buckle has an uneven green and brown patina. A comparable buckle is recorded in Whitehead: 2003, p24, fig 112.Length: 27.67mm. Width: 40.82mm. Thickness: 2.46mm. Weight: 4.7g.
