Description: | Medieval cast copper-alloy single looped buckle frame and pin. The frame is sub-trapezoid (kidney shaped) with rounded outer corners and a concave curved outer edge. The strap bar is narrowed and very worn at the centre. The top and bottom sides and outer side are triangular in section with a flat, plain back and inner edge and an angled outer edge. The sides widen and thicken from the strap bar towards the outer side. There is no evidence of incised lines but the surface has been lost to corrosion. The pin is a piece of copper alloy sheet wrapped loosely around the strap bar with a square end and tapering evenly in width from the strap bar to the tip where it narrows more abruptly to the rounded and slightly thinned point. The frame is 14.4mm long, 24.6mm wide and 3.6mm thick, the pin is 15.6mm long and 3.8mm wide by 1.7mm thick by the loop. Margeson (1993:27) illustrates an example with a similar shape althoguh decorated with incised transverse lines across the sides and complete with plate, she suggests this form is a 15th to 16th century development (ibid:25).
