Description: | An incomplete and heavily worn copper-alloy single-looped buckle with integral plate of possible Early-Medieval/ Late Medieval date (c.1050-1200). This artefact is incomplete as the pin is missing, along with the lower portions of the integrally cast plate. It measures 40.97 in length and weighs 10.4g.The buckle frame is circular and 17.8mm in width (11.7x11.6mm internal) with a rectangular neck to one side 10.2mm in width. The neck has a slot on the underside and a short bar and circular perforation on the upper side. From this it extends into an integral plate which flares to max.15.2mm wide. The open end is badly damaged and broken across the two rivet holes at each corner, 2.5mm in diameter. The slot for the strap is 9.8mm deep. To the opposite side of the circular frame is a collared zoomorphic protrusion with brow ridge, nose and circular punch marks for eyes.The surface of the plate is extremely worn, but traces of a cross-hatched grooved decoration remain. This artefact has a dark red brown colour overall and similar examples can be seen recorded on this database as HAMP-C9AB76, HAMP-970022, SF-D06B94 and BM-933343.
