Description: | An incomplete possible late Roman copper alloy single loop buckle. The buckle is D shaped with a narrow strap bar with a faceted outer edge terminating in two broadly oval small knops. The loop is decorated on its internal edge with incised lines within a border, on the external bevelled edge on either side and adjacent to the knops, are v-shaped notches which are bordered with two v-shaped incised lines. The strap bar once had a pin attached but this is now missing, come corrosion is visible on the pin bar and loop suggesting an iron pin. The reverse of the buckle is flat and undecorated.The buckle measures 24.9mm in length, 18.98mm in width and 3.23mm thick. The buckle weighs 3.7 grams.Single loop D shaped buckles are often medieval in date, the patina and decoration on this example suggests a late Roman date.
