Description: | A copper-alloy single-loop buckle of probable mid 14th to mid 15th century AD date (R. Whitehead; 1996; pp. 21). The frame is roughly D-shaped and has a pointed pin rest at the centre of the outer edge. The plate is sub-rectangular and has been bent double around the offset axis bar. The reverse of the plate is slightly narrower than the upper face and the two sides are joined by a single copper-alloy rivet, which is located close to the centre of the proximal vertical edge. The pin is fitted within a slot in the plate and is wound once around the axis bar. It is tongue-shaped, tapering to a point. Overall, the object is in reasonable condition. It measures 40.9mm long by 17.5mm wide and 4.8mm thick. It weighs 3.88g.
