Description: | An incomplete Medieval to early Post Medieval cast copper-alloy buckle, consisting of an elongated D-shaped single loop buckle frame with moulded decoration, probably dating from the 14th-16th centuries AD. The frame widens outward from the thin strap bar into an elongated loop; the outer surface of the buckle frame is decorated with a repeating pattern of raised, irregularly-shaped moulded knops which are flattened on top and generally trapezoidal or D-shaped in form. All of the moulded knops have been further decorated on their flattened tops with an incised saltire. The buckle frame is missing its pin. The reverse surface of the frame is flattened and undecorated. It measures 26.8 mm long, 19.2 mm wide (at outer loop-edge), 4.7 mm maximum thickness and weighs 3.92 grams. Although no exact parallel has been found on the PAS database or in Whitehead (2001), the style of the decoration and its single loop design suggests that the buckle should be dated from c. 1300-1600 AD.
