Description: | A complete medieval single loop buckle made of copper alloy. The buckle frame is oval with a narrowed and offset strap bar. Both the loop and the bar are round in cross section. The outer loop of the frame is substantially widened and is decorated with three rounded knops, each separated by a transverse ridge set between two grooves. The central knop had a scratch on the upper surface which is thought to represent where the pin rested.The pin in present. It is formed from a circular sectioned length of copper alloy wire looped around the strap bar and tapering to a point at the other end. The pin has been bent giving it a curved appearance.There is no sign of surface decoration. Both the pin and the frame have a dark grey patina. On the frame there are patches of brown where soil is still adhering, especially in the grooved decoration. This object measures 17.09 long x 18.32mm wide x 5.26mm thick. It weighs 3.90mm.Similar examples are published by Whitehead (1996) page 22 and are dated to circa 1250-1400 AD.
