Description: | A copper alloy oval buckle, most likely of Late Roman to Early-medieval date. The buckle consists of an oval loop and a smaller, rectangular loop, cast as a single piece. The buckle is undecorated. The metal is a light yellowish-green colour and survives fairly well with some pitting. This item was most probably used as a military strap, belt fitting or possibly a harness fitting. No direct parallel can be found, but a similar example can be seen on the PAS database find number YORYM-4F4C23 although this example is more elaborate.
