Description: | A copper-alloy single-loop buckle, dating to the Medieval period.The frame is roughly D-shaped, extending to a pointed pin rest and with an offset axis bar. The plate has been folded double around this axis bar; it has straight, parallel long sides and a squared-off end. The tapering wire pin has been loosely looped though a slot in the plate. A single copper-alloy rivet, located centrally at the non-frame end, would have held together the two sides of the now-distorted plate.Length: 22.7mm; width: 13.8mm; thickness: 5mm. Weight: 1.72g.Similar buckles were found at Meols, Merseyside, where they were classified as a Type 4 and dated to the late 14th century (Egan, in Griffiths et al. 2007: 88).
