Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy medieval single-looped buckle with integral plate. The frame is trapezoidal in form with an internal and external edge which is gently bevelled, as are the edges of the plate; the lower surface of the buckle is flat. The outer edge has a protruding rectangular pin notch, just off centre, with an incised pin rest. The pin is now missing, but would have been looped around a circular perforation at the junction of frame and plate. The beginnings of the plate, nearest the frame, are rectangular, moulded and narrowed slightly from the frame. Within this rectangular field is the pin hole mentioned. A transverse incision divides this from a slightly narrower element which contains a rivet hole with the corroded remains of the iron rivet spread on both upper and lower surfaces. Beyond, the plate constricts to a longer rectangular element (L. c. 13.1mm, W.: 4.7mm) before ending in a loop. Central within the terminal loop is a second rivet hole. The loop has broken at its end; the rivet has been lost with no corrosion product evident.The plate is seemingly plain. A buckle of similar form, albeit with a thicker plate, can be found illustrated in Ottaway and Rogers (2002, 2890; ref. 12883). The artefact has been bent upwards slightly in profile at the attachment end. It has corroded to a dull grey-green colour with large patches of off-white corrosion product.
