Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy single loop 'D' shaped buckle of Medieval date, circa AD 1250- AD1500. The frame is 'D' shaped with slight projections above and below the staight vertical arm of the frame giving the buckle the appearance of being an oval frame with slightly off-set bar. The buckle weighs 3.51g, has a length of 20.2mm, width of 27.3mm and thickness of 2.4mm. The buckle has a sub-oval cross section being flatter on the reverse surface and bevelled on the inner edge of the curved leading side of the frame that angles towards the reverse surface. The vertical bar has an oval cross-section. A slight horizontal depression transversely set across the upper surface of the leading side of the frame might represent a pin rest however it could also be interpreted as a slight imperfection formed during the casting process during manufacture that is fortuitously at the point where a pin rest would be expected. The pin is missing from this buckle.
