Description: | Copper-alloy buckle frame, plate and pin. The frame is oval, 30 mm wide and 20 mm long, with an offset narrowed bar; the outer edge is expanded to form a wide D-shape in cross-section. In the centre of the outer edge is a constriction for a separate cylindrical roller, made of thick sheet, which still moves. A pin made from wrapped sheet survives on the bar. The plate is nearly rectangular, tapering from 21.5 mm wide at the hinge end to 20 mm wide at the attachment end. It is made from a strip of copper-alloy folded nearly in half and secured by four knob-headed copper-alloy rivets; one is now missing and one detached. The plate has an engraved zig-zag border and there are extensive remains of gilding around the rivets. Medieval, probably 13th century.
