Description: | A copper-alloy single-loop buckle of Medieval (probably 13th to 14th century) date.The buckle is complete but slightly corroded. The frame is D-shaped, with convex, sloping outer faces and an angled inner edge. The pin is made from a flattened and tapering length of copper-alloy wire and is attached at a central slot within the plate, looped around the axis bar. The upper portion of the plate is sub-rectangular (the horizontal sides being slightly concave), has a groove border and traces of gilding. There are three in-situ copper-alloy rivets, arranged in a triangular formation. The rivet closest to the frame secures the much smaller back plate to the upper plate, while the two at the opposite end (one retaining a circular stop) would have held the buckle to the now-missing belt. The artefact measures 44.2mm long, 19.7mm wide and 4.1mm thick. The weight is 5.03g.
