Description: | A copper alloy medieval single-looped buckle frame with plate dating to the period c. AD 1250-1350. It measures 34.8mm in length, 29.0mm wide, 3.5mm thick and weighs 8.01 grams.The buckle has a D-shaped frame with a D-shaped cross-section. The reverse is flat. It has an offset narrowed pin bar with a squared-off knop at either end. The base of the complete copper-alloy pin is looped around the pin bar. The pin is long and tapering, with a rectangular cross-section; it is a slightly different colour to the frame, showing that a different alloy has been used. The tip rests across the front edge and projects beyond the edge of the frame.The plate is broadly triangular and consists of a sheet of copper-aloy folded over the recessed pin bar with a rectangular knotch to hold the pin. The buckle plate has three semi circular projections broadly similar to a trefoil, at the centre of each is a circular rivet each containing a rivet with a flattened head. The plate covering the pin bar is decorated with horizontal grooves. The maiun body of the plate is decoated with a incised motif depicting a tree which has been tinned. The remainded of the plate has been decorated with numerous triangular punches.This buckle is similar to several from 13th- to 14th-century contexts in London (e.g. Egan and Pritchard 1991, 271, 274 and 277).
