Description: | A copper alloy medieval buckle dating to the period c. AD1350-1400. The buckle has a single D-shaped frame, with a narrowed and offset axis bar. Its outside edge has four bands of transverse moulding which are flanked by two prominent knops. It is missing the pin, which would have rested in the groove between the two central mouldings. There is a brown-grey patina on the surface, and the decoration on the reverse is identical to the decoration on the front. It is round in section at its outer edge and at the axis bar, and the rest of the frame is oval in section. It is Meols type 10.Cf. Meols, p. 85, fig. 2.5.1, no.10.A similar example can be found in Egan (1991) p.74, no. 299, which dates to AD1350-1400.The buckle measures 15.88mm in length, 16.03mm in width at its widest, 3.44mm in at its thickest and 1.21mm at its thinnest and weighs 1.95g.
