Title
Cast copper alloy buckle frame of Early Early-Medieval date.
Description
English: Cast copper alloy D-shaped buckle frame of Early Medieval date, probably late fifth or sixth century. Length 21mm, width 29mm and 4.5mm thick. Weight 7.04g.

The frame is generally D-shaped in cross section, flat on the underside. The bar, which is 3mm in width, is narrowed with sharp steps at either end, but not off-set. The bar is D-shaped in cross-section and flat on the underside. A shallow pin rest has a maximum width of 5mm at the outside edge of the frame. On the upper surface of the frame two narrow and parallel grooves extend from one step to the other. However, these grooves are absent on the pin rest and they have probably worn away due to contact with the pin. Small areas of gilding survive within the grooves and there are tiny flecks of gilding at the extreme outside edge of the frame. The buckle is corroded and is in poor condition.
