An incomplete and damaged copper-alloy medieval single loop buckle with sheet buckle plate. Only vestiges of the buckle frame survive, the pin bar remains in situ within the buckle plate. The buckle plate is complete, it is rectangular in plan and cross section. Two perforations with in situ rivets are visible, one in each corner of the attachment end. The plate is mostly undecorated on both faces apart from a small section of punched decorated located at the attachment end. The decoration consists of punched triangles running along the length of two parallel horizontal lines. Within the two parallel lines is a further concave line flanked by punched triangles. The plate has been bent upwards in the centre.
The buckle and plate is 33.0mm in length, 23.90mm wide, 6.50mm thick and weighs 5.46 grams.
