Title
Early-Medieval Buckle
Description
English: An incomplete cast copper-alloy buckle of probable later Early-Medieval date. It is missing part of the frame end of the plate, the lower plate and parts of the attachment end of the plate, as well as the pin, due to old breaks. The buckle has a D-shaped frame that is sub-square in section with an offset bar that has projecting knops to either side of the frame. Th has a slightly expanded outer edge where there are traces of gilding. The separately cast plate is flat, shield-shaped in form with rectangular frame and pin recesses and the remains of an incomplete lower plate that is mostly missing due to old breaks. The front face has decoration comprising a single band of double incised grooves that have multiple vertical strkes creating small square shaped motifs along its length. This runs around the outer edge of the plate and accross the frame end. It is uncertain whether the outer edge of the frame is compete as areas of projecting metalwork in places perhaps indicate it once extended further but is now incomplete due to old breaks. There are traces of gilding on the front face of the plate, with a central circular rivet hole. It measures 33.42mm in length, 27.09mm in width, 3.69mm in thickness, and 6.36g in weight.

This is a cast copper-alloy buckle of possible later Early-Medieval date, perhaps belonging in the 11th to 12th centuries AD, c.1000-1200 AD.
