Description: | A cast copper alloy single looped D-shaped buckle dating to the Medieval period. The object is D-shaped in plan and cross-section. The strap bar is offset and narrowed. The pin is missing. The outer face of the buckle frame is decorated with a geometric pattern of incised linear and diagonal grooves. The sides and rear of the object are undecorated. File marks are visible on the sides of the buckle and on the strap bar. There is a small lobed projection just above the strap bar on either side of the object. There is a shallow notch in the outer frame for the pin to rest. The object has been tinned and has a smooth grey patina. It is in very good condition. There is a small nick out of the outer frame on one side of the object. Similar examples can be seen in Whitehead, (2003), p19-20 and have been dated from AD1250-1500.
