Title
Incomplete cast copper alloy D-shaped buckle of Early Early-Medieval date (AD 450 – AD 650).
Description
English: Incomplete cast copper alloy D-shaped buckle of Early Early-Medieval date (AD 450 – AD 650). Length 17mm, width 31.5mm and 6.2mm thick. Weight 14.41g.

The frame has a convex upper face and a slightly concave underside (roughly D-shaped in cross section). The outer edge is slightly expanded and at the centre it is worn by contact with the pin. The pin is missing. The narrowed bar is sub-circular in cross-section, about 5mm in diameter. At the centre of the bar is a wear mark which has been created by the loop of the pin. Around the outer periphery of the frame is a distinct casting seam. The buckle, in poor condition, is corroded and has bronze disease. However small areas of a mid to dark green shiny patina has survived on both faces. There is no evidence for tinning, melting or burning.
