Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy single looped buckle of early-medieval date, dating c. 450-600 AD. Marzinik type 1.5 (Marzinik 2003, p. 306). The buckle frame and pin survive extant, though there is no trace of the plate which would have attached to the offset strap bar. In plan view the buckle frame is broadly 'D' shaped with a sub-oval section to the arms, and demonstrates bevelling on its inner surface. Decoration is present on the upper surface of the buckle frame opposite the strap bar in the form of multiple incised lines while the lower surface of the buckle is plain and undecorated. The buckle measures 20mm long, 12mm wide at its widest point, the arms are c. 3mm thick and it weighs 2.71 grammes. A broadly comparable buckle type can be seen in PAS record KENT-58E0F7, though this example is undecorated.
