Description: | A cast copper alloy single loop sub-rectangular buckle with expanded outer edges dating to the period AD c1350-c1400. The buckle comprises a single loop with expanded outer edges with a bar across the top which fixes into the edges. At the bottom of the buckle, the copper alloy plate is folded over the bar which holds the pin. The plate appears to have one rivet through it. The rivet is present but the top of the plate is damaged surrounding the rivet. The pin is heavily corroded a reddish brown colour. Between the two parts of the plate there is the remnants of what appears to be leather. The buckle weights 3g and measures 30.68mm in length (the frame of the buckle measures c15.06mm in length), 16.07mm in width and 7.84mm in depth. Cf Whitehead, R, 2003, Buckles 1250-1800, Greenlight Publishing, Witham p27 No 140 (the example here differs as it has no roller).
