Description: | A cast copper-alloy single-looped medieval buckle with ornate outside edge. The frame's expanded outer edge has knopped ends which travel outwards. On the upper surface the knops are decorated with incised diagonal lines, two on both knops. Delineating the knops are fine, raised transverse ridges. There is a pair of similar ridges central on the outer edge, whose deep groove between would have acted as a pin rest. Above and below these latter is a transverse groove. The pin bar opposite is offset and narrowed. A twisted pin survives in situ. It is of thick sheet construction and tapers to a point. It has a ridged transverse collar that separates the loop. The shaft has been bent to one side at the loop and also bent downwards at the tip. The sides are flat on their upper and lower surfaces, and also internally. They are curved externally and therefore have a semicircular cross-section. The buckle has corroded to a dark-grey colour with some patches of off-white corrosion product. A similar example can be found illustrated in Griffiths et al. (2007, 91; ref. 527).
