Description: | A copper-alloy single-loop buckle of probable Medieval date.The frame is roughly 'D-shaped', the outer side having been deliberately pushed inwards at the centre, creating a concave area. The upper surfaces slope downwards and outwards, the inner edges are steeply angled. The plate has been bent around the axis bar and is of unusual, irregular form. The portion of the upper plate adjacent to the axis bar is rectangular. From the bottom edge protrudes a rectangular tab; a roughly 'L-shaped', possibly zoomorphic, projection extends outwards from the top right hand corner and contains a circular rivet hole; at the bottom right hand corner is a stepped protrusion. At the frame end is a wide central pin slot, adjacent to which is an in situ copper-alloy rivet which links the upper side of the plate with the much smaller, trapezoidal underside.The buckle is bent and corroded. It measures 33.3mm long, 34.7mm wide and 6.4mm thick. The weight is 5.3g.
