Small medieval copper alloy single loop D-shaped buckle frame. Notch to take the missing pin, narrowed strap bar with a collared knop at either end. The strap bar is bent towards the reverse, and the knops point upwards at an angle - the buckle appears to have been cast this way, rather than it being distortion due to wear. Small area of gilding, or more likely exposed metal due to recent damage, on the reverse.
