Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy buckle with an integral plate (c. 1100-c. 1300). This buckle is flat on both faces and is trapezoidal in plan. the attachment end of the plate is missing due to an old transverse break. It has a sub-rectangular loop with maximum internal dimensions: length: 6.7mm; width: 16.6mm. At the centre of the plate, close to the loop and on the longitudinal centre-line, there is a circular pin-hole, 5.0mm diameter. There is smaller hole next to it, also at the centre on the centre-line, which has a diameter of 1.3mm. This smaller hole was presumably for a rivet (now missing). At the centre of the outside edge, there is a small notch which served as a pin-rest. The front of the plate is decorated with double linear bands of punch marks that form a chevron shape around both holes. This buckle has a pitted dark green patina on both faces. The buckle possibly belonged to a spur strap. 26.4 x 24.0 x 1.7mm. Weight: 3.92g.
