Description: | Medieval (late 13th to 14th century) buckle: The copper alloy buckle frame is a double looped oval in plan, however one loop is missing. The loop and reverse are undecorated and in profile the frame is flat. The strap bar is narrowed, and is a rounded triangular in section. The pin is an elongated triangle which is curled around the strap bar. In profile the buckle is straight. The buckle frame surface is a matte mottled mid green colour. The buckle measures 20.03mm long and 22.43mm wide. It weighs 2.32g.Egan and Pritchard (2002) date a similar shaped buckle, No. 380, to the late 13th to 14th century. An example of a larger buckle is No. 333. Due to the size of the frame Egan and Pritchard (2002) comment that they were probably produced for a specialised function, but what this function is, is unknown.Egan, G. and Pritchard, F., 2002 Dress Accessories, c. 1150- c. 1450 (Medieval finds from Excavations in London) London: Boydell Press
