Description: | Incomplete Late Medieval copper alloy D-shaped buckle frame and plate, missing most of the pin. The plate is a little damamged and the frame broken at one join with the axis bar. Both frame and plate are decorated with lines of light punches.
The length of the object is 45.1mm and its max.width is 36.4mm (the height of the frame). It weighs 10.56g.
The outside edge of the frame is widened but not thickened (8.8x2.1mm) and decoration is in the form of a double line of punches flanking both outer and inner edge. At the centre, the widest part of the frame is a X within a box, formed on two sides by the double lines of punches. The X and other sides of the box are also of double punches.
The plate curves around the axis bar, which is offset, with a gap at the center for the pin. Only the curl of it survives here. It is 4mm wide and 0.9mm thick.
On its decroated side the plate measures 26.2x29.3x0.6mm. The other sides measures 20.4x27.6x0.6mm. Two rivet holes through the decorated side just meet up with the plate underneath.
The decoration on the plate is of a lozenge of double punches within a box of double punches. The points touch the sides of the box and create triangular areas, within which is a smaller triangle of a single line of punches.
Unfortunately the area within the lozenge is damaged which makes the decoration difficult to see, but it may possibly have a box or even cross within it, again of double punched lines.
