Title
Medieval buckle
Description
English: An incomplete copper alloy buckle dating to the medieval period, c. AD 1200-1500.

The buckle consists of the single looped D-shaped frame. It is shallow D-shaped in cross section, and markedly flattened on the bottom surface. The curving part of the frame is markedly thicker than the slender linear part. No pin rest or decoration is visible, although there may be wear markings on the bar where the pin was originally sited. Whitehead (2003: 16) presents no. 39, a similar example, but comments that simple D-shaped buckles are difficult to date due to their generic presence, but can be largely associated with the 13th to 15th centuries. Egan and Pritchard (1991: 70) no. 271 is similar, and comes from their context 7, dated to c. 1200-1230.

Measurements: 36.3mm diameter, 27.3mm width, 3.1mm thickness, weight 5.07g.
