Description: | An incomplete Medieval buckle, dating to the 13th century. The object is formed of an oval loop and integral plate, which taper saway from the loop to a break. There is a circular perforation along the line of the break, which would have attached the buckle to a strap. The pin is attached through another perforation, closer to the loop. The pin remains and is formed from a strip of copper alloy which has been bent around the bar formed between the loop and perforation. There are decorative projections on either side of the plate, where it meets the loop. Traces of gilding are also visible on the outer surface. The object has a mid-dark green patina.An identical example is in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford (no. 410.1981) and is published in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 78-9) alongside similar buckles dating to the 13th century.Dimensions: length: 24.87 mm; loop diameter: 19.40 mm; thickness: 3.84 mm; weight: 4.96g.
