Description: | A copper-alloy single-loop buckle with integral plate, dating to the Medieval period.The frame is sub-trapezoidal, the converging sides extending smoothly into the plate, which terminates in a grooved scallop-shell design. The frame is of rectangular section; the plate has a convex upper surface and a flat underside. A corroded remnant of the iron pin survives, located within a perforation at the inner end of the plate. A circular-sectioned rivet projects downwards from the underside of the plate's scallop-shaped end. Traces of gilding remain on the upper surfaces of the piece.Length: 24.1mm; width: 12.4mm; thickness (not including rivet): 4.5mm. Weight: 2.45g.Single-loop buckles with integral plates are thought to date from the early 13th century onwards (Egan in Griffiths et al. 2007: 104).
