Description: | A cast copper-alloy single-looped medieval buckle of trapezoidal form. The corners are rounded. The outside edge is wide (5.2mm) and is bevelled externally on the upper surface with parallel removals on the lower surface. The sides are also slightly bevelled on the lower surface. The outer edge is decorated with two pairs of deeply incised diagonal lines. The inner pair overlap at their base creating a rest for the extant pin. The sides are also decorated with diagonal incisions on the upper surface. The pin is of thick sheet construction and is triangular in plan, tapering to a point. The metal has corroded to a dark green colour. A trapezoidal buckle of similar proportions can be found illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 30; ref. 170); the date range offered below is based on this example.
