Description: | Medieval (late 13th to 14th century) buckle: The copper alloy buckle frame was probably a double looped oval frame, but only one loop and the strap bar remains. The breaks are not recent, and the surface patina also covers these breaks. The loop is undecorated, is a D-shape in plan and is an asymmetrical semi-circle in section. The reverse is undecorated and flat. The strap bar is slightly narrowed, and is a rounded trapezoid in section. There is a copper alloy pin curled around the strap bar. The buckle frame has a slightly abraded surface with a light grey-green patina. The buckle measures 20.84mm long and 24.81mm wide. It weighs 3.75g.Egan and Pritchard (2002) date a similar shaped buckle, No. 380, but which is smaller to the late 13th to 14th century. An example of a larger buckle is No. 347, but this is made of iron, and dates to the second half of the 14th century.Egan, G. and Pritchard, F., 2002 Dress Accessories, c. 1150- c. 1450 (Medieval finds from Excavations in London) London: Boydell Press
