Title
Early Medieval Buckle
Description
English: A cast copper alloy D shaped buckle dating from the early medieval period, AD900-1100. It has some elements of the Ringerike style and is probably Anglo-Scandinavian or Viking. It has a broad, flat frame and a narrowed strap bar. The inner corners and the shoulders of the frame each carry a small rounded knop and there is a trilobed projection in the centre of the outer edge. The upper surface has decoration in the form of two narrow grooves following the curve of the D. The pin is missing. The buckle has a dark brown patina. It is 24.9mm long, 27.6mm wide and 2.9mm thick. It weighs 5.31gm.

A similar buckle is illustrated in Griffiths, Philpott and Egan, 2007, Meols: The Archaeology of the North Wirral Coast, plate 8, number 308, and further examples can be found on the database at references NLM6194 and WILT-60E406.
