Description: | Medieval probable buckle (mid 12th to mid 13th centuries): The copper alloy buckle frame is a sub 'D' shape, but the strap bar is missing. The loop of the frame tapers in width towards the strap bar, is oval in section and is at its widest at the apex of the frame. The terminals of the loop are moulded and slightly bulbous. The pin is missing. The frame has traces of a dark green patina, otherwise it is heavily abraded. It measures 17.99mm wide and 36.87mm long from the apex of the frame to the strap bar. It weighs 3.84g.Similar buckles are illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (2002), Nos. 303 and 304 and these are dated to the mid 12th to mid 13th centuries.Egan, G. and Pritchard, F., 2002 Dress Accessories, c. 1150- c. 1450 (Medieval finds from Excavations in London) London: Boydell Press
