Title
Post medieval single looped buckle, probably from a sword belt
Description
English: A cast copper alloy buckle with a separate cast copper alloy plate . A single loop, D-shaped buckle with a wide outer edge. The outer edge is decorated with a moulded rope-like pattern of raised transverse bars inside a framing band. The bar off set from the frame and has a circular cross section. At the corners of the frame, either end of the bar have a bifid terminal. The terminals are decorated with a foliate pattern. Attached to the bar is a strip metal pin, tapered at one end and bent out of shape. It is attached by hooking around the bar in the rectangular notch of the separately attached plate. The plate is cast with a foliate outline, trefid ends and foliate decoration on one face (the other face is undecorated). It is attached by folding the plate over the bar of the buckle frame and joining the two halves of the plate with two iron rivets.There is a large rectangular aperture for the pin attachment. Design of the plate is similar to that seen on plates and hook pieces of sword belt fittings, and this may have been designed to be worn on a sword belt as part of a set of fittings (see Read, R 2001 Metal Artefacts of Antiquity, pages 39 & 43, figure 26, no. 373)
