Description: | A copper alloy Medieval (AD1200-1400) single oval buckle with ornate outside edge, complete with pin and sheet roller. The frame is oval in plan and rectangular in cross-section, with a narrowed and offset strap bar. The outside edge has two rounded lobes flanking the constriction for the sheet roller, which has a central groove for the pin. The sheet roller is slightly corroded and there is some loss to the edges. The pin, which extends 24.6mm, has been made from a rectangular sheet of metal, folded lengthways to create a point at the tip, and curled around the strap bar. The frame has an uneven dark grey patina, whereas the pin and sheet roller are a paler green, showing they have been made from a different alloy.The buckle frame measures 23.1mm x 20.9mm (internal loop dimensions 20.3mm x 11.5mm). The buckle is 7.4mm thick and weighs 8.0g.
