Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy buckle frame. The outer portion of the loop remains, and this is sub-triangular and is expanded in width. The apex of the frame is decorated with a central wide transverse groove which would also act as a notch. Either side of this groove there are two more fine grooves which define a scroll either side of the notch. The upper and reverse surfaces are flat except for the moulding. The terminals of the frame are narrowed and broken, these breaks are not recent. The frame has a well developed mid grey/green patina. It measures 25.8mm long from terminal to terminal and 11.07mm wide across the notch. It weighs 4.4g. The buckle frame was probably originally a D-shape with an off-set strap bar. The D-shaped frame dates to the Medieval period, Egan and Pritchard (Egan G. and Pritchard F. 2002 Dress Accessories Boydell Press) illustrate a similar decorated frame, No. 300, dates to the mid 14th to 14th century.
