Title
Early-Medieval Buckle
Description
English: An incomplete cast copper alloy buckle of Early Early-Medieval date (c. AD 450 - c. AD 600). Length: 19.1mm; width: 28.4mm and 5.0mm thick. Weight 7.51g.

The pin is missing. The buckle frame is generally D-shaped, as viewed in plan. It is convex at the front and largely flat at the rear. The narrowed bar is generally sub-circular in cross-section and has a length of about 10.0mm and a maximum diameter of 4.8mm. The diameter is measured across an off-centre swelling. The swelling may be due to the buckle having had a folded plate and wear either side has been created by the movement of the pin loop. At the top of the outside edge of the frame there is a slightly worn area where the pin tip made regular contact.

The frame is corroded and in poor condition. It has the remains of a mid-brown patina and is in a stable condition. The frame is irregularly shaped in places and may have been subject to burning.
