Description: | A medieval cast copper-alloy annular buckle frame dating to the 15th century. The buckle frame is asymmetrical, with one D-shaped loop and the other a slightly elongated, less rounded D-shape with two shallow recesses in the outer circumference, giving the outer edge a flared appearance. The bar is central and trapezoidal in cross-section with traces of iron corrosion. Bother outer edges are expanded. The buckle measures 33.55mm by 33.95mm, with a thickness of 2.90mm, and weighs 7.05 grams.Similar buckles are illustrated in Whitehead (1996), p46, no. 265 and 266, which he dates to the 15th century.
