Description: | An unusual complete copper-alloy buckle frame. This frame is incomplete and roughly triangular in shape, 46mm by 37.9mm in size externally. Internally the buckle frame has formed an irregular pentagon shape, at the bar end. On the outside of the frame there are rounded knops at each of the corners of this pentagon shape. There is then a small horizontal bar with a central rounded knop seperating this from another roughly triangular shaped hole. The frame then terminates, at its outer edge in a solid triangular terminal with a rounded knop at its tip. The front face of this terminal is decorated with two horizontal rows of incised zig-zags. Slight traces of gilding can also be seen on theis frame. The bar is narrowed and beyond the bar there are incomplete stubs of the frame, due to old breaks, it is impossible to tell if there were terminals at this point, which are now missing or if this buckle frame was in fact a double frame with a central bar. Although no exact parallel could be found for this buckle frame it is most likely to be medieval in date.
