Description: | Incomplete unusually ornate medieval copper alloy oval buckle frame, missing its pin. It has a break through one arm of the frame, close to the axis bar, but the frame is still complete. Measures 26x45.4mm (internal 12.2x32.6mm) and weighs 9.97g.The axis bar is offset and possibly slightly narrowed as there is a rounded cap at each end, extending from the arm of the frame.The outside edge of the frame has a raised-rib V-shaped constriction for the pin. Either side (although on one side it is now too worn to see mostly) is elaborate grooved decoration in the form of a double-ended curlicue with a petal or leaf (pointed oval in shape) extending downwards from the centre. This decoration probably extends into the side arms but is lost through wear.The outside edge of the frame is angled outwards and downwards.Nick Griffiths comments it is probably 13th century in date.
