An incomplete cast copper-alloy single-looped medieval buckle with ornate outside edge. The oval frame's expanded outer edge has knopped ends which travel outwards. Delineating the knops are fine, raised transverse ridges, on both surfaces. The pin bar opposite is offset and narrowed; the pin is missing. The sides are bevelled internally. The buckle has corroded to a dark-grey colour with some patches of off-white corrosion product. A similar example can be found illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 22; ref. 91).
