Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy medieval 'locking buckle' frame. The frame is rectangular in plan, with rounded corners and the artefact has been bent, particularly on the long edges. The outer edge is thick (c. 5.51mm), flat and rabbeted (or notched) to accept and secure a U-shaped arm attached to the pin bar: the bar and the arm are both now missing. It also features an incised central logitudinal pin rest. In profile the sides are expanded to receive the off-centred pin bar. These buckles are well attested in the literature; recent published examples can be found illustrated in Egan 2005 (37-38; refs. 116, 117).
