Description: | Cast copper alloy single looped rectangular buckle of probable later medieval date (1300-1450). The frame of the buckle is rectangular in plan and oval in cross section. The buckle frame is complete and one edge is a recessed and off-set strap bar which has an oval shaped cross section. The pin is rectangular and the end is rolled over the axis bar. The tip of the pin fits within a U shaped recess in the frame. The buckle has a mid brown coloured patina which has been lost in places by abrasion. Similar examples to this buckle can be seen in Ross Whitehead's book 'Buckles 1250 - 1800', pages 26-27. Whitehead suggests that these buckles date to the late medieval period (1300-1500).The frame measures 22.3mm length, 18.2mm wide, is 3.4mm thick and weighs 3.95 grams.
