Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small cast copper-alloy single-looped buckle frame of medieval date (c. 14th century AD). The frame is oval with a lipped protrusion at its outer edge which would have acted as a pin rest. The pin bar is offset and narrowed; the pin is missing. Both surfaces of the frame are flat. The pin bar and lower surface are covered in file marks. The artefact now has a dark-grey patina with patches of off-white corrosion product. For this type see Griffiths et al. (2007, 88) where they are dated to the late 14th century.
