Description: | A complete and slightly worn cast copper-alloy single looped buckle of late Medieval to early Post Medieval date (c. 1450-c. 1550).The frame is 'D'-shaped in plan, moulded at the front and flat at the rear. It has a narrowed off-set bar. At the front, regular spaced diagonal lines create a rope-work effect. The bar is roughly square in cross-section and very worn. The freely moving tapering copper-alloy pin is flat. The pin is broken at the tip and is now 14.1mm in length. The frame and pin are similar in colour. They largely have a green patina. Within the grooves on the frame the colour is a buff. The buckle is 29.98mm long, 23.55mm wide, 2.38mm thick and it weighs 5.2 grams.A similar buckle can be seen in Whitehead 2003, p.25, no. 122.
