Description: | Medieval buckle frame and plate with folding sheet plate in place of a pin. Oval frame with offset bar. Incomplete elongated rectangular sheet plate with "pin" slot and slight frame recesses, rear part mostly missing, attachment end of front part missing, engraved line parallel with both sides, one rivet hole next to a large circular or part circular cut-out that has been truncated by the break. The folding sheet plate, which is reminiscent of those found on strap clasps, is trapezoidal and decorated with a single transverse engraved line. When in a resting position it covers only half of the frame. How can this arrangement have functioned as a clasp? Frame 12.5 x 15.5mm. Plate >36 x 9 - 9.5mm. Folding plate 8.5 x 13mm.
