Title
Medieval buckle
Description
English: An incomplete copper alloy buckle dating to the medieval period, c. AD 1200-1400. 

The buckle frame survives, but the pin is missing. It is a single looped, irregular D-shape example, with a prominent triangular knop at the centre of the outer part of the frame, opposite the bar. It is flattened in cross section. There are additional raised ridges, two on each side of the knop, which act as further decoration. The strap bar is narrowed and offset, cylindrical in cross section. There is incised decoration on the knop, following the shape of the triangle and elaborating this with horizontal lines creating an impression of levels within it.

It is similar to SWYOR-C565D1, which quotes Whitehead (1996, 24; 107ff.). Whitehead suggests that these buckles date from the 13th and 14th centuries. See also the Meols Catalogue, numbers 758 and 762 (p.103).

Measurements: 45.1mm length,  32.4mm width, 4.7mm thickness, weight 8.06g.
