Copper Alloy Buckle

A copper alloy (bronze) buckle.

You can see how this example is almost identical to the belt buckles we wear today. This buckle would be roughly 5 or 6 cm high, and probably been used to hold a wider leather strap than the previous examples.

See other objects found during the excavation, or see an example of medieval costume.
