Title
Anglo Saxon buckle
Description
English: Tiny early Anglo-Saxon buckle, made from copper alloy. The frame is oval, and measures just 12 mm long and 15.5 mm wide. It is circular in cross-section, now rather corroded but perhaps originally 2 mm in diameter. The copper-alloy pin survives, with the loop wrapped around the frame and the tip of the pin curving neatly around the outer edge. Two hinge loops made from copper-alloy sheet are corroded around the frame, and this is all that survives of an original plate. th eobject weighs 0.25g. This type of buckle is most common in the seventh and early eighth centuries c.600-720AD.
