Description: | A complete, single loop buckle of Meols type 4 dating from the Medieval period, about AD 1350 - 1400. The frame is oval and the upper face is bevelled. There is a small, pointed knop in the centre of the outer edge which is notched to take the pin. The buckle plate is folded round the recessed and offset bar. The upper plate is bi-concave at the open attachment end. There is a ferrous rivet still in situ in the centre of the attachment end of the plate, and a small fragment of a ferrous pin remains too. Both frame and plate have been tinned or silvered; a large portion of the white metal coating remains in place. The buckle is 30.2mm long, 13.6mm wide and 4.7mm thick. It weighs 3.7gm. For reference, see Meols page 84.
