Description: | Small oval buckle-frame with richly-decorated fore-edge and bronze pin. The frame is 20mm in height and 13.5mm in breadth from pin-bar to fore-edge. The frame is shaped of two symmetrical swathes which protrude from the fore-edge and turn back on themselves in the manner of foliage or zoomorphic necks and heads. The D-shaped outline of the frame is therefore interrupted by two bowed emanations which appear one either side of the pin-rest. The pin itself is made of a shaped and flattened strip 2.5mm broad and 1.5mm thick, and is wrapped around the pin-bar, a rod of 1mm gauge cast integrally between the inner two shoulders of the frame. This is a late mediaeval or early post-mediaeval ornamental buckle.
