Title
Early-medieval to medieval single-loop buckle
Description
English: A copper-alloy single-loop buckle of probable medieval date. No exact parallel could be found for this object, but Geoff Egan suggests that it probably dates from the Romanesque period of the 11th or 12th centuries AD. The frame is D-shaped and has an expanded outer edge whose upper surface slopes downwards and outwards. The buckle plate has been folded around the axis bar. The back plate is largely missing but the upper plate has ornately cut edges, with a point at the centre of each horizontal side and a rounded proximal end (ie. that furthest from the frame). There are three in-situ domed copper-alloy rivets - two at the frame end and one towards the proximal end. At the centre of the frame end is a pin slot for the now-missing pin. The object is bent and corroded. It measures 38.8mm long, 17mm wide and 4.4mm thick. The weight is 3.47g.
