Description: | Cast copper alloy buckle frame, probably of Late Medieval or Post Medieval date. The frame is of an unusual form and is roughly cast, it has an elaborate outside edge comprising of two oval loops. The frame is rectangular with a plain bar of circular section. The outside edge is wide and has a prominent raised central V-shaped notch for the missing pin. On each side is an irregular loop of sub-triangular section with moulded decoration of transverse lines. These loops are possibly zoomorphic, with the suggestion of a serpent's head swallowing its tail on each side. The frame is slightly convex across its width.
