Description: | Medieval to Post Medieval (15th to mid 17th century) buckle: The copper alloy buckle frame is a double looped oval in plan. The loops and reverse are undecorated and in profile the frame is flat. The strap bar is slightly narrowed, and is a trapezoidal in section. The pin is a fragment of wire curled around the strap bar. The buckle frame has an abraded matte light grey-green coloured surface. The buckle measures 22.62mm long and 17.04mm wide. It weighs 2.07g.Egan and Pritchard (2002) date a similar shaped buckle, No. 380, to the late 13th to 14th century, but the recorded example is slightly more angular, and the surface condition suggests a later date. Whitehead (1996) illustrates similar examples, for example No. 296 which is dated into the mid 17th century.Egan, G. and Pritchard, F., 2002 Dress Accessories, c. 1150- c. 1450 (Medieval finds from Excavations in London) London: Boydell PressWhitehead, R. 1996 Buckles 1250-1800 Colchester: Greenlight Publishing
