Description: | An incomplete copper alloy, single loop, oval composite buckle with integral forked spacer and sheet metal buckle plates (these missing), dating from the Medieval period, AD 1350 - 1450. The frame is bevelled on the upper side and lipped on the outer edge but there is no pin notch. The cast copper alloy pin remains in place but the ends of the spacer have broken away and the buckle plates are also missing. The remaining portion of the buckle has a rough, light brown patina. It is 23.7mm long, 20.4mm wide and 6.5mm thick. It weighs 3.65gm.Similar buckles are illustrated in Griffiths, Philpott and Egan, 2007, Meols: The Archaeology of the North Wirral Coast, page 95. Compare also those illustrated in Whitehead, 2003, Buckles 1250 - 1800, page 36.
