Description: | A complete copper alloy medieval D-shaped buckle. It has a wide, concave curved outside edge, the outer face of which is decorated with two inwards curving engraved lines. The inner strap bar is narrowed and recessed with a slight knop at either end and the simple pin remains in situ wrapped around it. The buckle survives in good condition with a reddish brown patina in places.A very similar example was found during excavations in Winchester (Biddle 1990, 519, fig.131, no.1175) in a 14th to ?15th century context, although the style of decoration and patination on the present example suggest that it may be earlier so a broad date range is suggested here.Length: 23.43mm, width: 17.74mm, thickness: 6.49mm, weight: 3.37g
