Description: | Damaged copper-alloy buckle of medieval date. A single-looped buckle probably dating from the mid 13th to early 15th C. AD. The plates are rectangular and measure 34.4mm long by 13.2mm wide and 0.5mm thick. The upper plate remains largely intact, but slightly bent and damaged. The back plate is heavily damaged and only a small portion remains. The plate is undecorated and is held together by two copper-alloy rivets, one at each end of the plate. The loop is D-shaped, with a slightly convex upper surface and a flat underside. It is also undecorated. The pin is intact and is made of a flattened copper-alloy wire which tapers to a point. It is wrapped around the axis bar and sits within a pin slot in the plate. At 18.5mm long it overhangs the outer edge of the buckle. Overall, the object measures 46.5mm long by 19.5mm high and up to 4.1mm thick. It weighs 5.06g.
