Description: | Cast copper alloy single loop buckle or suspension loop. The object is sub-oval with a straight strap bar to one side and large projecting rounded knop in the centre of the slightly widened and thickened outer edge. The sides are rectangular in section. The strap bar is recessed with an indent in the centre, possibly for the pin. It is 21.3mm long, 14.4mm wide and 2.9mm thick; it weighs 1.54 grams.Egan and Pritchard (1993) identify a similar object as a buckle based on the attached plate (page 94 No.421) but a similarly shaped object (although slightly smaller) is illustrated elsewhere in their book (page 219 and 221 No.1192) as a pendant loop from a belt. Both examples differ from this item in having a collar at the base of the knop. They suggest (ibid:94) the similarity may be becasue these are part of a set. This example shares aspects of both objects but the size may suggest a buckle. Both are from later 14th century contexts. FAKL-3A9BF8 and NLM-CB0C24 on this database are also similar and have buckle pins still attached.
