Description: | The object is a cast copper alloy buckle, which has the pin missing. The date of the buckle is either the Early Medieval or Medieval period. The frame is in a poor condition, but the style of the asymmetrical openwork and the red copper corrosion may suggest an Early Medieval date. In plan the frame is trapesoid with straightened sides towards the base. The lower edge is the strap bar that is narrowed towards the centre due to wear. The strap bar is an oval shape in section. The sides of the loop are moulded with an asymmetrical swelling at the mid point. The apex of the loop is moulded and has two asymmetrical openwork holes. The surface of the frame is corrded and is a red/brown colour. The buckle measures 26.13mm long from the apex to the strap bar, and it is 23.67mm wide. The frame weighs 2.6g.
