Description: | Copper alloy buckle of elaborate and unknown form. The frame is broadly trapezoidal in shape (L. 26.3mm. W. 31.6-28.2mm) with an elaborate lis projection on the outer edge. Within the trapezoidal element of the frame there are three rectangular apertures, divided by unusual additional rectangular elements. The two outer apertures are narrower and longer than the central aperture. There are two large circular apertures located at either end of the central rectangular aperture. The element of the buckle between the central rectangular aperture and the circular aperture located at the opposite end to the lis projection serves as the bar. The element of the buckle between the central rectangular aperture and the circular aperture located at the same end as the lis projection serves as the pin rest. The frame is split on one side of this aperture and racked on the other side. There are three further small rectangular apertures, one in the centre of the central projection of the lis, and one in each corner of the frame at the opposite end to the lis. The cast copper alloy pin is intact. The upper surface of the buckle is decorated with a series of double rows of punched triangles. The pin may also have been decorated in this way, but due to wear this is no longer clear. The reverse is flat and undecorated. Patchy, dull mid-green patina.
