Description: | A heavily corroded cast copper alloy D- shaped buckle (length: 20.8mm; width: 32.2mm; thickness: 5.1mm; weight: 4.37g). The buckle has narrowed and offset strap bars as well as the pin still attached (which is in better condition than the rest of the artefact). There are slight projections out from the ends of the strap bar. Generally, the buckle is in a very worn and heavily corroded condition with large quantities of powdery bright bronze disease covering the surface on both sides. The pin is the best preserved feature of this buckle.Similar examples are illustrated in Ross Whitehead's 'Buckles: 1250-1800', page 19, which are dated between c. 1250-1500 AD.
