Object type certainty: Certain

A resized image of Medieval single-looped buckle

A single-looped cast copper-alloy buckle of medieval date, incomplete in as much as it is missing its pin. The buckle is of oval form with an offset and narrowed pin bar. There are mouldings at the ends of the pin bar. The frame is bevelled externally and internally on its upper surface; the latter is far steeper. The lower surface is flatter but slightly bevelled both externally and internally. The frame is of a mid-green colour with some small patches of lighter corrosion product. A buckle of similar form and dimensions can be found illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 70; fig. 42).
