Description: | A slightly corroded and damaged cast copper-alloy buckle probably of medieval date. The buckle is sub-oval in form, broadly pentagonal with rounded corners. The outer edge is pointed with a short, incised pin rest. The pin bar opposite is slightly offset and narrowed. The pin, however, sits within a central recess that is perhaps a later adaption to the present pin. The basic thin wire pin survives looped around the constriction and has a red-brown colour lighter than the frame. The frame is bevelled internally and externally on the upper surface; the lower surface is flat.The buckle seems complete and most likely a single-looped example of medieval date, although it is difficult to parallel in the main reference works. The frame has corroded to a dark-brown colour.
