Description: | Cast copper alloy buckle frame with integral plate. The frame is a 'D' shape in profile. The loop becomes wider towards the apex. The upper surface of the loop is decorated with a moulded design. The details of the design are not clear due to corrosion. On the outer edge of the loop there is a small integral knop, which is visible in plan. Integral to the buckle there is an integral rectangular plate. Between the plate and the 'strap bar' there is a slender semi-circular hole which allows the pin to move. The underside of the strap bar is off-set from the reverse of the buckle frame. The buckle plate is also off-set on the reverse. The plate has three rivet holes forming a triangle. Each hole is filled with a cast copper alloy rivet with a domed head. The rivets protrude through the reverse of the plate. The rivets are circular in section. The surface of the buckle is heavily abraded and has possibly traces of red copper corrosion. The buckle has been recently coated with a clear substance. There are traces of a dark green patina. It measures 29.72mm long, 15.72mm wide, 9.06mm thick across the rivet and weighs 7.4g.The buckle may be of a Medieval date.
