Description: | A complete cast copper alloy single looped buckle with integral plate, of Medieval dating (1200 to 1500 AD).The buckle consists of a D shaped frame, with the outside edge angled at approximately 45 degrees. The integrally cast plate is sub rectangular in plan, with a raised central section. A circular rivet hole is present towards the back of the plate. The pin is still present and consists of a folded thin strip of copper alloy sheet metal. The front of the buckle plate retains traces of gilding and decoration but the original design is unclear due to abrasion. The reverse of the buckle is plain and undecorated.The buckle is a mid to dark green / brown colour with an uneven surface patina. A moderate degree of abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the ploughsoil, has removed a significant amount of decorative detail.The buckle measures 36.71mm in length, 16.63mm wide and 12.94mm deep. It weighs 5.6 grams.
