Description: | Cast and sheet copper alloy single-looped, D-shaped buckle frame with offset, narrowed bar and recessed plate. The plate is decorated with gilt punched triangles that run together forming a border within the edge of the plate. The gilding only survives at the frame end of the plate. The plate tapers away from the buckle frame and has three rivet holes, but none of the rivets remain. One rivet hole is at the frame end to hold the folded plate at the back around the pin bar with two extensions either side of the pin. The other two rivet holes are side by side at the other end of the plate to attach it to a leather strap. The cast pin is complete and has a slight transverse ridge below the loop. There is also an accidental notch at one edge of the outer frame but this is not a pin rest.The pin is 13 mm long, 3 mm wide and 2 mm thick. The frame is 15 mm long, 20 mm wide and 2 mm thick. The plate is 34 mm long, 14 mm wide and 1 mm thick.Egan (2002) illustrates a similar example on page 75, Fig.45, No.304, which is dated to the 13th century.Whitehead (1996) illustrates a similar example on page 19, No.59, which is dated from the 13th to the 14th century.
