Description: | Medieval (c. 13th to 14th centuries) buckle: The copper alloy buckle frame is a sub-D shape which has an undecorated D-sectioned frame. The strap bar is off-set, and narrowed. The pin is curled around the strap bar, and is incomplete. The surface of the frame has a shiny grey patina. An elongated rectangular buckle plate is folded, almost in half, around the strap bar. In the centre of the fold a slot has been cut to allow for the pin. The upper plate is slightly wider and longer than the lower plate. The upper plate is decorated with a linear grooved border. The plates, at the terminal opposite the fold, has a pair of rivet holes with the remains of copper alloy rivets in place. The surface of the plate is a mottled mid to dark green patina with a white metal coating. The surface of the buckle frame probably also has a white metal coating.The buckle and plate together measures 32.58mm long from the frame to the plate terminal, and 13.11mm wide across the frame. It weighs 2.91g.The frame is probably dated to the Medieval period. Egan and Pritchard (2002) illustrates a similar example, No. 271-277, which dates to the 13th to 14th centuries.Egan, G. and Pritchard, F., 2002Dress Accessories, c. 1150- c. 1450 (Medieval finds from Excavations in London)London: Boydell Press
