Title
Anglo-Saxon Buckle
Description
English: A cast copper-alloy buckle frame with integral plate of Early-Medieval/Anglo-Saxon date. The buckle frame is oval shaped in form with slightly expanded outer edge and straightened bar. It is separated from the plate by a transverse groove that has a small circular perforation serving as pin slot at its centre. The surviving pin is rectangular in form and section, tapering slightly towards the tip, which is incomplete due to old breaks. The integrally cast plate is triangular in form, tapering towards the attachment end. It has moulded semi-circular projections to either side close to the frame, and at the narrowed attachment end has a circular terminal. The plate is flat, undecorated, and on the back face has two integrally cast cylindrical rivets, one positioned between the two semi-circular projections and the other at the centre of the circular terminal. The entire object measures 14.77mm in width/height at frame, 27.66mm in length, 1.50mm in thickness at plate (3.85mm including rivets), and weighs 2.62g.

This buckle is similar in form to Marzinzik's Type II.23b-ii buckle frames (Marzinzik, 2003: pp. 50) as well as examples from Coddenham and Barham, Suffolk (West, 1998: nos. 4.20, 21.3). It is of Early-Medieval date, probably belonging in the 6th-7th centuries AD.
