Copper alloy buckle. A small cast single looped buckle frame with an expanded outer edge with knops at either end of a slightly constricted bar, perhaps marking loss of a separate roller, and with a narrowed and offset strap bar. A plain buckle plate of thickness 0.5mm, markedly narrower behind, bears two drilled holes: one for the protrusion of a square-section pin and the other, at the inner end, to attach the ends of the buckle plate to each other and to the strap [lost].

A fragment of a cast copper-alloy buckle or strap slide of Medieval date, about AD 1300 - 1400. Only the outer edge survives, with a collared knop. It would have been stirrup shaped.
