Description: | Medieval (c. 1270 to mid 14th century) buckle: The copper alloy frame is a double looped rectangle. The strap bar is narrowed and is sub-triangular in section. The strap bar bisects the narrow edges of the frame, therefore running the length of the frame rather than the width. The long edges of the loop is decorated with four deep rabbets, with lengthways and transverse grooves. Some of the grooves may have been filled and have traces of a matte red-brown substance, which looks similar to red copper corrosion, but is very localised in these grooves. Otherwise the surface of the buckle has a dark green-brown patina. In profile, viewed from a narrow end, the frame is curved in a semi-wide 'V'. The pin is missing. The buckle frame measures 26.66mm long, 34.28mm wide, and weighs 9.15g.A very similar buckle is illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (2002), No. 443 which is dated to the late 13th to mid 14th century.Egan, G. and Pritchard, F., 2002 Dress Accessories, c. 1150- c. 1450 (Medieval finds from Excavations in London) London: Boydell Press
