Description: | A small strap-buckle of Anglo-Saxon type (probably Middle Saxon)with a hoop of copper alloy rod 19mm broad and 10 mm across, the rod being of 3mm diameter. The pin, which is in place, is of 1.2mm thickness and 11mm length and is recurved at the tip to lie over and partly round the rod of the outer hoop. It is attached to the inner hoop by being rolled around it. Its central position is maintained by two thin sheet-metal bands which pass round the inner buckle hoop one either side of it. These are riveted onto two thin (0.2mm) bronze sheets which overlay the strap itself to which the buckle was attached. The thickness of the strap to which it was attahed was 2.5mm.
