Description: | A cast copper alloy simple oval/ D-shaped frame buckle frame with pin missing (length: 29mm; width: 39mm; thickness: 6.8mm; weight: 20.96g). Even though the pin is missing, there is a deep cut rectangular indentation on the thicker outer edge of the frame for the pin to rest, as well as another smaller indentation along the narrow strap bar , probably marking where the pin was originally fixed. There are slight slanted grooves at either end of the bar. There is no other decoration. The buckle frame is slightly corroded with some areas of probable bronze disease, but is in a fair condition with a dark green-brown patina.A very similar example was found during excavations taking place in London and is illustrated in Egan & Pritchard's 'Dress Accessories: Medieval Finds from Excavation in London', pages 68-9, Fig 41, Re no 264. This example was date from a medieval context between 1350-1400 AD.
