Title
Medieval buckle
Description
English: An incomplete copper alloy buckle dating to the medieval period, c. AD 1400-1500.

The buckle is a single looped example missing its pin. It is D-shaped in plan, with a flattened inset bar and bevelled edge on the interior of the frame. There are indentations at each end of the bar, and file marks on the reverse.

It is very similar to Whitehead (2003: 14) no. 39, which is dated to the later medieval period, with the caveat that such buckles are relatively generic and commonly found from later periods as horse equipment. The file marks make it more likely to be of medieval date, however. DEV-BF8BC0 is a similar example.

Measurements: 16.9mm length, 15.2mm width,  2.1mm thickness, weight 1.07g.
Depicted place (County of findspot) Somerset
