Description: | A cast copper alloy D shaped buckle dating from the early medieval period, AD900-1100. It has some elements of the Ringerike style and is probably Anglo-Scandinavian or Viking. It has a broad, flat frame and a narrowed strap bar. The centre of the curved frame has a trilobed projection and there are two further two-lobed projections and two one-lobed projections equally interspaced around the D curve of the outer edge. The upper surface has decoration in the form of grooved lines segmenting the overall area into sections linked to the outer lobes. The inner side of the D has a groove and forms a raised V where the pin would have rested in the centre of the D before following the curve of the D. The pin is missing. The buckle has a dark brown patina. It is 28.65mm long, 31.15mm wide and 2.43mm thick. It weighs 10g.
