Description: | Cast copper alloy single-looped buckle fragment dating from the medieval period, that is the 13th century. The artefact is an irregular D-shape with prominent protruding outer edge such that it tends towards the sub-triangular. The strap bar is narrowed and off-set and is missing its pin. Its terminals are expanded but divided from the sides by grooves on the upper surface. The protrusion forms the pin rest and features a shallow central pin groove along its width. It terminates with in a rounded curve.Reference: Similar examples can be found illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 24). Whitehead suggests that these buckles date from the 13th and 14th centuries.NB: The FLO has not seen this artefact in person. Images and find spot information were kindly supplied via email by the rally organiser/finder.
