Description: | Medieval (late 13th to 14th century) buckle: The copper alloy buckle frame was a double looped oval frame, but only one loop and the strap bar remains. The loop is undecorated and is an asymmetrical semi-circle in section. The reverse is undecorated and flat. The strap bar is not narrowed as they usually are, and is a rounded trapezoid in section. There is a trace of an iron pin on the strap bar. The buckle frame has a slightly abraded surface with a dark grey patina. The buckle measures 20.72mm long and 29.72mm wide. It weighs 3.94g.Egan and Pritchard (2002) date a similar shaped buckle, No. 380, but which is smaller to the late 13th to 14th century. An example of a larger buckle is No. 347, but this is made of iron, and dates to the second half of the 14th century.Egan, G. and Pritchard, F., 2002 Dress Accessories, c. 1150- c. 1450 (Medieval finds from Excavations in London) London: Boydell Press
