Description: | Medieval cast copper alloy single loop buckle frame complete with pin. The frame is oval with an offset, narrowed and recessed strap bar. The loop has a flat back and rounded front, the outer side is slightly widened and thickened. At the centre of the outer side the frame is moulded into two circular knops, these are flanked by narrow collars with a groove between them creating a pin rest. The pin is rectangular in cross section with a slightly groove down the front, one end is bent around the strap bar and it is broadly even in width to the rounded point. The pin has a brighter green patina than the frame suggesting it is a different alloy.. The entire piece is 20.7mm long, 14.0mm wide and 3.0mm thick, excluding the pin loop, 4.0mm including it; it weighs 1.81 grams.A similar buckle is illustrated in Egan (2007:91) no.498 although lacking the collars flanking the knops. This is categorised as a Meols type 4 and it is suggested it dates from the late 14th centuries (ibid:88).
