Description: | Medieval (late 13th to mid 14th century) buckle: The copper alloy buckle has a sub-trapezoidal frame. The sides of the frame are D shape in section and slightly convex on the exterior edge. The edge opposite the strap bar is narrowed and oval in section and would have had a roller around it originally. The strap bar is the narrowest of the frame and is sub-rectangular in section. Around this bar there is a sub-rectangular copper alloy buckle plate folded over it. On the copper alloy plate there is, near the fold is a hole to allow for the pin, which is now missing. At the terminal of the plate there are incomplete rivet holes with a fragment of a copper alloy rivet remaining. The edges of the plate are abraded and incomplete. The frame and both copper alloy sheets have a shiny dark green patina. The buckle measures 23.64mm long and 16.18mm wide across the frame. It weighs 2.21g.In Egan and Pritchard (2002) there are similar buckle, Nos. 315, which dates to the late 13th to mid 14th centuries.Egan, G. and Pritchard, F., 2002 Dress Accessories, c. 1150- c. 1450 (Medieval finds from Excavations in London) London: Boydell Press
