Description: | A small single looped copper alloy buckle and plate dating to the medieval period. The buckle loop is broadly D-shaped in plan with a recessed strap and pin bar and an expanded decorative bar on the opposing side; this bar would have acted as the pin rest and has two linear grooves at either end as decoration. The pin is now missing. The buckle plate is made from a single sheet of copper alloy that is thinner on the reverse than the front of the plate and the two lugs that loop around the buckle's strap bar have been cut out-one is now broken. The only decoration on the plate is a groove that runs around the outer edge; two large copper alloy rivets at the rear of the plate would have secured the strap in place.
