Description: | A cast copper-alloy buckle frame with integral plate of Early-Medieval/Anglo-Saxon date. The buckle frame is D shaped in form. At the centre of the bar is an oval shaped perforation through which is a cast copper-alloy pin that is rectangular in form and square in section, tapering to a down curving point that extends beyond the outer edge of the frame. The integral plate is triangular in form, tapering towards the open end, and with convex sides. It has prominent triangular shoulders and at the open end has an integral circular terminal knop. The plate is flat and on its back face has three integral but incomplete lugs, two positioned at the shoulders and one on the back face of the knop.This buckle is similar in form to Marzinzik's Type II.23b-ii buckle frames (Marzinzik, 2003: pp. 50) as well as examples from Coddenham and Barham, Suffolk (West, 1998: nos. 4.20, 21.3). However, it differs from these parallels through the presence of attachment loops or lugs rather than rivets, and in this respect appears closer to an example from Barham (West, 1998: no. 4.19) that has attachment lugs/loops on the back face. It is of Early-Medieval date, probably belonging in the 6th-7th centuries AD.This buckle measures 28.44mm in Length Width 17.61mm Thickness 4mm and Weighs 3gramsPlease see References SF-96B535 and WAW-9435C8
