Description: | A single-looped cast copper-alloy buckle probably of early-medieval date, AD500-700. The buckle is of simple, oval form with a circuar cross-section. The thick wire pin survives with a small collar ridge; the tip has been bent down and round the frame. It is possible that this buckle had a separate buckle plate that is now missing. (see below, Evans and Loveluck, page 23). The artefact is plain but is corroded with a variable light-green colour. The buckle is 17.26mm in length 2.89 mm in width and 4.34mm in thickness. It weighs 2gm. A similar buckle can be found on the database at reference HAMP-143F02For Reference, see: Evans and Loveluck (eds.), Life and economy at Early Medieval Flixborough, AD600-1000, volume 2, page 23, number 121.
