Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy roller type, D-shaped buckle. The buckle frame is D-shaped in cross-section with a central thickened band which is oval in cross-section. The buckle is unusual in that the central band is thickened all the way around not allowing the back of the buckle to sit flat against the belt.The buckle is 27mm long. The frame is 7mm wide and 3mm thick. the thickened central band is 6.5mm thick..An alternative interpretation of this object is a lunar shaped mount. However, the patina is not typical of Iron Age artefacts, and there is no way of attaching this object via a rivet or suspension loop. The pointed terminals of the object are unsymetrical, and although very worn, under a microscope they appear to be breaks rather than a complete object.Similar can bee seen on this database at PUBLIC-921778.
