Description: | Medieval (12th to 14th centuries) copper alloy buckle: The buckle is sub-triangular with a narrowed and off-set incomplete strap bar. The apex of the buckle is sub-rectangular with a small knop on each of the exterior edges. The upper face of the buckle is decorated with rouletting or rows of small triangular stamps. The reverse of the frame is flat and undecorated. The pin is incomplete, and is curled around the strap bar. The pin is decorated with a fine transverse ridge near the curl. The frame has a matte light grey/green patina. The buckle measures 15.69mm long, 23.62mm wide across the buckle frame. It weighs 1.89g.Whitehead (1996) illustrates a similar buckle, and plate, No. 114 dating it to the mid 13th to 14th centuries. Unlike typical Medieval buckles of this form it differs due to the decorative elements, which find parallels in a similar buckle from Suffolk recorded through the PAS (SF-077A83 and SF106665). It is likely that this buckle frame dates to the Medieval period, perhaps during the 12th-14th centuries AD.Whitehead, R. 1996 Buckles 1250-1800 Colchester: Greenlight Publishing
