Description: | The loop and forked spacer, from a cast copper alloy single-looped oval buckle with integral forked spacers. The prongs of the fork have been broken. The D-shaped/oval buckle has a large cylindrical strap bar, which has a short and narrow pin recess located in the middle of it. The pin is missing. The forked spacers are integral to the oval loop. The part of the forked spacers closest to the strap bar have three steps cut into the copper alloy prongs before they extend out into the long fork. This stepping occurs on the inner edges of the fork. Shortly after this steeping the prongs have both broken off, the breaks look very worn. Both the front surface of the buckle and the reverse have been slightly bevelled. A small decorative lobe decorates the edge of the oval loop of the buckle (opposite the pin recess). File marks can be seen on the surface of this artefact. The artefact is a dark greyish-green colour. It is in a good condition. It probably dates from c. 1300-1600. Similar buckles can be seen in Egan and Pritchard, 1991, pp78-82, Fig 48 and 49, No. 322-330.
