Title
A Medieval Buckle
Description
English: A complete single looped D shaped buckle frame, of Medieval to Post medieval dating (AD 1250 to AD 1600).

The buckle frame is D shaped, with a flat cross section. The strap bar is rounded but not offset. The outer loop is flattened with zig zag decoration on the front, creating triangles. The inner triangles contain multiple small grooves, creating a hatched impression. A small shallow U shaped pin rest is present on the inner edge of the outer loop. Filemarks are present on the reverse.

It measures 51.3 mm in length, 75.1 mm wide and 4.5 mm thick. It weighs 45.3 g.

The buckle is a dark green colour with an even surface patina.

The buckle is similar in style to that of Whitehead, 1996, p18, no 39 and should be considered to be Medieval in dating.
