Copper-alloy D-shaped single-loop buckle of medieval date (c. 1350 - 1450 AD), missing its pin. The buckle consists of a D-shaped frame with a narrowed and offset strap bar at one end and a pointed lip at the other. The lip has a pin notch on the upper face. The edge of the buckle frame is bevelled. The object is dark brown in colour. It is 14.75mm in length, 14.61mm in width and 3.28mm in thickness. It weighs 1.13g.
Similar examples are depicted in Whitehead (2003) Buckles, p. 20, nos. 70 - 72. These have provided the date range suggested for the example under discussion.
