Description: | A medieval copper alloy single loop buckle. The frame is D-shaped with a narrowed and offset strap bar. The frame is undecorated. It is oval in cross section. The pin is present. It is formed from a round sectioned copper alloy wire looped around the strap bar. It narrows towards a point and survives to full length.The buckle plate is also present. It is formed from a sheet of copper alloy folded around the strap bar to form two plates of equal length. The space between the two plates is filled with compact soil. The faces of the plates are undecorated and have no rivet holes. At the strap bar, there is a central rectangular slit cut out to make space for the pin to articulate. There is some damage to the terminal of the lower sheet. The break is worn. The upper sheet is complete.This object has a dark green patina with patches of brown where there is soil adhering. The surface of the plates and of the pin is smooth whereas the buckle frame has a rough texture. This object measures 23.43mm long x 11.62mm wide x 3.98mm thick. It weighs 1.52g.For similar examples of buckles with strap plates see Whitehead (1996) page 18.
