Title
Early Early-Medieval Buckle
Description
English: An Early Early-Medieval (c.500-600) copper alloy single-oval loop buckle frame and pin, measuring 26.19x29.74x10.52mm and weighing 17.4g.

The frame measures 19.50x29.74x7.20mm and is oval in section apart from the axis bar at the centre part of one side, which is constricted and measures 12mm in length and 3.03x3.76mm in cross-section. This would have been for a now missing buckle plate. Although the copper alloy is pitted in places decoration is visible on one face and on the outside edge of the frame, in the form of a hollowed area c.1.5mm wide filled with raised and compacted S-shapes. This is especially clear on the face and less so on the side, where it may be raised transverse lines.

The pin, which is 26.19mm long, curls around the axis bar at one end (3.60x2.05) and then thickens to 3.98x3.87mm, curving at the opposite end over the edge of the frame. Roughly half way along is a constriction which measures 3.45x3.46mm.
