Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy medieval single-looped buckle with integral plate. The frame is sub-rectangular in form with an internal and external edge which is gently bevelled, as are the edges of the plate; the lower surface of the buckle is flat. The outer edge varies in thickness but has a prominent central pin notch. The pin is now missing, but would have been looped around a circular perforation at the junction of frame and plate. The beginnings of the plate, nearest the frame, are rectangular and narrowed from the frame (W.: 12.4mm; frame W.: 16.3mm). Within this rectangular field (L.: 6.5mm) are the pin hole mentioned and, below that, a rivet hole with rivet still in place (rivet L.: 3.6mm). Beyond, the plate constricts to a longer rectangular element (L. c. 10mm, W.: 5.6mm) before flaring out to a terminal (W.: 8.85mm). Central within the terminal is a second rivet hole with rivet still in situ. The plate is decorated with crude oblique incisions on the longer rectangular element, and by transverse incisions on the element which adjoins the frame. A buckle a similar form can be found illustrated in Ottaway and Rogers (2002, 2890; ref. 12883). The artefact has been bent upwards slightly in profile and has a dull dark grey patina.
