Title
Early-Medieval (Anglo-Saxon) Buckle
Description
English: An incomplete cast copper alloy buckle of Early-Medieval (Anglo-Saxon) date (c. AD 500 – c. AD 600). Length: 20.0mm; width: 33.0mm and 6.2mm thick. Weight: 12.15g.

This elongated oval buckle has part of the frame and part of the bar missing due to old breaks. The frame is sub-circular in cross-section, it being bevelled on the inside and slightly flat on the underside. The narrowed bar is circular in cross-section with a diameter of 3.9mm.

The surfaces are corroded overall and a portion of the outside edge of the frame has exfoliated. Opposite this exfoliated area, on the inner face of the frame, there are several fractures which may have been created as a result of burning.

This buckle is similar to several unprovenanced examples from the Chessell Down, Isle of Wight, Anglo-Saxon cemetery (Arnold 1982, fig. 28, ref. 82). A sixth century date is proposed by Arnold for this cemetery.
