Description: | A copper alloy incomplete single looped buckle of Medieval date. The object has a sub-triangular expanded buckle frame. The sides of the buckle and strap bar, which would have been offset, are missing due to ancient breaks. The Frame has a long linear notch for the pin either side of which are two rows of punched dots. Two more rows of punched dots form a decorative border at each side. The outer edge of the frame is decorated with two flat knops. The rear of the object is undecorated and it has a dark brown patina.Similar examples can be found in Whitehead, (2003), p24 dated to c.1250-1400. Further examples have been found at Meols, Griffiths et al, (2007), p103, no.758. An example from Eynsham Abbey, Oxford has been dated to c. 1066-1109, while another from Kings Lynn has been assigned to the late 13th/early 14th century, (ibid, p102).Dimensions: 19.55mm in width, 32.22mm in length, 2.09mm thick, 4.8g.
