Title
Buckle or book clasp from Abenbury.
Description
English: Thin, single-loop copper-alloy buckle, with two prongs for attachment to strap and a single tongue. The most striking feature is a roundel on the loop, which has two circles of decoration around the outer edge and green enamel, paste or glass within it. There is a notch on the edge to accommodate the tongue. The roundel is meant to be seen so it may have been on clothing or a personal item. The finder suggested it may have been part of a book clasp.
