Description: | A single looped oval buckle with integral forked spacer, cast in copper alloy. The buckle frame has a triangle lip projection where the terminal of the pin would have rested. The pin recess sits in-between the forks of the spacer, on the strap bar. The pin is missing. Both prongs remain intact. The tapering prongs of the forked spacer have a step cut into the copper alloy. This stepping occurs on the inner edges of the fork. The front of the oval buckle has a chamfered edge, but the fork and the reverse of the oval buckle are flat and have squared edges. The artefact is a dark brownish-green colour, the surface is corroded. The buckle and spacer weigh 5.9g and measure 48.3mm x 22.8mm x 3.8mm. The buckle plate is also present and weighs 3.4g, it measures 29.3mm x 15.9mm. It is formed from a rectangular plate of copper alloy, which is heavily corroded. The plate has been bent in the centre forming two back to back plates. At the open end there is a large empty rivet hole, with two smaller rivet holes either side, which still contain rivets. Similar buckles can be seen in Egan and Pritchard, 1991, pp78-82, Fig: 48 and 49, No. 322-330.
