Description: | Medieval buckle (late 12th to the late 14th century): The copper alloy single looped buckle frame in plan, is an ornate oval with the strap bar having an integral buckle plate. The sides of the buckle frame are convex on the exterior and concave on the interior, and the edge opposite the strap bar is thickened and has moulded transverse notches and ridges on the upper face. The buckle plate is an elongated trapezoid with a hole in the centre by the strap bar which would be where the pin would have been fixed. There are two circular perforations, one along each lateral edge and then three incomplete perforations along the narrow edge. The pin is missing. The buckle frame and plate has a mid green coloured patina. There are traces of gilding on the upper surface of the plate. In profile the plate and frame are bent forming a wide inverted 'V' in profile. It measures 43.83mm long and 23.3mm wide across the frame. It weighs 10g.Egan and Pritchard (2002) dates similar shaped buckles without buckle plates (Nos. 314 and 312) to the late 12th to the late 14th century.Egan and Pritchard 2002 Dress Accessories Boydell Press
