Description: | An incomplete frame from a Single-loop buckle of medieval date. Finds from excavations in London suggest that the fashion for ornate buckle frames and plates probably spanned the period of the late 12th to late 14th centuries AD (G. Egan and F. Pritchard; 1991; pp.76). The form of the frame is also comparable with the design of some 13th to 15th century annular brooches. For a similar example on the PAS database, see BH-4208A2.The frame would originally have been sub-trapeziodal in plan, but the axis bar is now missing. The central aperture is D-shaped and the two outer sides have concave outer edges. The frame is thin, with flat surfaces. At each of the three points is a decorative globular attachment. The bases of the rivets for these attachments can be seen on the underside of the frame. The upper surface has traces of gilding.The object measures 28.8mm long, 38.9mm wide and 5mm thick. The weight is 6.24g.
