Description: | The buckle is probably dated to the Early Medeival period. This is indicated by the iron pin. The buckle frame has been made from cast copper alloy. It is a sub 'D' shape, almost an oval, in plan. The strap bar is slightly narrowed. The loop has a worn notch. The loop and strap bar are oval in section. The frame has a very dark brown patina, which is particularly shiny. The pin is made of iron, and is incomplete. It is also corroded and has now a distorted shape. It measures 17.7mm long and 12.3mm wide. It weighs 1.47g. Magregor and Bolick have similar examples of the frames.
