Description: | Cast copper alloy single loop buckle or suspension loop. The object is round with a flattened area to one side and oposite the flat area a suspended circular knop with a collar between the knop and the frame. Egan and Pritchard (1993) identify a similar but slightly larger object as a buckle based on the attached plate (page 94 No.421) but a similarly shaped (although slightly cruder and with wear or a constriction on the straight edge) object which is the same size as this one is illustrated elsewhere in their book (page 219 and 221 No.1192) as a pendant loop from a belt. This example shares aspects of both objects but the size and lack of side spurs may suggest a pendant loop. Both are Medieval in date.This item is 19.8mm long, 13.5mm wide and 5.8mm thick, it weighs 2.04 grams.
