Medieval copper alloy buckle. Oval frame, with only the terminals of the off-set, narrowed bar surviving. The outside edge is formed from three lobes each decorated with two angled transverse ribs forming a chevron. Externally the lobes are slight, internally the edge is scalloped with four concave foils. Measuring 20 x 34mm. Broadly similar in style to double-looped frames in Egan and Pritchard (2002, 84, fig.51, no.345 and an example illustrated from the Museum of London collection), although this is certainly a single-looped example. Probably 14th - 15th century.

Probably a medieval buckle of unusual form. Copper alloy sheet cut and bent to form two parallel sides and outside edge. The sides, one of which is incomplete and both of which are now bent flat to the back of the buckle, were pierced twice to hold two (missing) bars, iron corrosion from which surrounds one of the surviving holes. The extremely elongated outside edge of the buckle is curved, and bent to form two hollow-backed longitudinal ribs, with a deep central notch at the end. The plate is decorated with a median longitudunal line and multple angled lines forming staggared chevro…
