Description: | A slightly corroded and damaged cast copper-alloy single-looped medieval buckle of sub-pentagonal form. The outer edge is squared off at its tip as with such buckles. As a buckle this is an incomplete example in so far as the pin is broken beyond the loop; the plate is also absent. The pin bar opposite is offset to the plate side, and narrowed. The pin's loop, made of thick sheet, survives in situ around the pin bar. It has a dark-green patina and is of a different alloy to the frame. The frame is bevelled internally and externally on the upper surface; the lower surface is flat. The frame has three separately applied rivets, at the widest points and the outer edge. These decorative rivets have large dome heads. The buckle has a dark red/brown colour with patches of green corrosion product. Traces of gilding survives around the rivets on the upper surface. A similar buckle can be found illustrated in Griffiths et al. (2007, 102-103; ref. 759), the discussion of which cites parallels. This example has been bent up at one side as a result of old damage.
