Description: | A damaged and incomplete copper-alloy single-looped medieval buckle consisting of a cast frame and sheet plate. The formerly oval frame has been broken just as the loop begins beyond the pin bar at both ends. The pin bar is recessed and narrowed with moulded ends; these latter are decorated with transversely incised lines on the upper surface. The pin survives in situ and is of thick sheet construction There is pair of transverse ridges at the junction of the loop and the pointed tip. The sheet plate, wider than it is long, has been folded around the frame. It is recessed at the frame end to accommodate the frame and has a notched removal to accommodate the pin. The plate has three perforations at the attachment end; no rivets survive. The upper surface of the upper sheet is decorated with a border of rouletted opposed triangles. The artefact has a mid-green patina with traces of off-white corrosion product. As well as the damage to the frame the attachment end has been abraded and slightly bent.
