Description: | Medieval (mid 12th to the 14th century) buckle: A single looped cast copper alloy buckle frame which is a 'D' shape in plan with a narrowed and off-set strap bar. The bar is sub-square in section. The frame tapers in width towards the strap bar, is at its widest at the apex of the frame and is obliquely angled in profile. The upper face of the frame is decorated with a border of small triangular cells at the edge. Within the field there is a zig-zag line of these cells as well. The reverse of the frame is undecorated. The frame has a well-developed mid green coloured patina. The fragment of the iron pin remains on the strap bar. The frame measures 17.76mm long and 27.33mm wide. It weighs 3.46g.Egan and Pritchard (2002) illustrate a similar buckle, No. 304, which is dated to the mid 12th to the 14th century, but does not have an obliquely angled frame.Egan, G. and Pritchard, F., 2002 Dress Accessories, c. 1150- c. 1450 (Medieval finds from Excavations in London) London: Boydell Press
