Description: | A cast copper alloy, single loop sub-rectangular Medieval buckle of Meols type A, probably dating from 1350-1400 AD. The frame is of hexagonal section, being bevelled on both upper and lower faces. It exhibits file marks on all surfaces. The strap bar is narrower than the remainder of the frame and is square in section. There is a cast pin in situ looped around the strap bar. The pin is of square section with a moulded rectangular bar above the loop from where it tapers into a point. The buckle is tinned, has a grey-green patina with some corrosion present. It is 18.20 mm long, 29.01 mm wide and 2.1 mm thick. It weighs 4.61 grammes.For reference, see Griffiths, Philpott and Egan, 2007, Meols: The Archaeology of the North Wirral Coast, page 84. Compare also buckles illustrated in Egan and Pritchard, 1991, Dress Accessories 1150 - 1450, page 95 and a similar example on the PAS database: SWYOR-F8DA38
