Description: | Copper alloy buckle with part of an integral plate. The buckle has a circular loop and a small section of solid buckle plate - this is probably broken but it is unclear. The front of the buckle plate has a central punched mark with a pair of incised chevrons behind it. On either side of the punch mark there is a copper alloy rivet. On the reverse of the buckle there is a small lozenge shaped plate serving as a washer to stop the leather pulling through the leather of the strap. Examples of buckles with integral plates are often from stirrups and this example may serve the same function. The buckle weighs 7.04g and measures 23.94mm in length, 18.76mm in width and 6.2mm in thickness.
