Description: | A medieval cast copper-alloy single-looped rectangular buckle, missing its pin. The outer edge is widened and thickened, and pentagonal in section with flattened top and base and inner side and triangular outer edge with a ridge down the centre. There are no grooves across this edge and no pin rest. The top and bottom sides are slightly convex curved. The pin bar is offset and very slightly recessed. At the centre of its back is a slight notch around which the pin would have looped. The frame is 15.3mm long, 11.5mm wide and 3.2mm (max.) thick, and 1.33g in weight.Egan in Griffiths, Philpott and Egan, (2007: 99, no. 685) illustrates a very similar buckle which he categorises as Meols Type C and dates to the late 14th century (ibid, pg. 97).
