An incomplete cast copper alloy single looped buckle with an integral box chape, of Medieval dating (c. AD 1400 to c. AD 1500). Approximately 25% of the buckle is present, with part of the loop and chape present. The rest of the loop, the pin and the chape are missing, presumed lost in antiquity. The buckle is irregular in plan and rectangular in section. The loop is incomplete and it is hard to determine whether it was originally lyre shaped or oval. The curvature of the surviving loop fragment is more suggestive of an oval shaped frame as opposed to lyre shape. A single integral…
