Description: | Medieval or post medieval cast copper alloy buckle frame. The frame is rectangular with with a circular sectioned, recessed, outer edge, rectangular sectioned sides that project slightly beyond the strap bar and a narrowed and recessed strap bar. The outer edge is decorated with 8 incised transverse lines. The strap bar has traces of iron corrosion in the centre, possibly the remains of the pin. The part of the sides projecting beyond the strap bar thin into points, and although corroded, do not appear broken. It is 16.3mm wide, 19.4mm long, 2.9mm thick and weighs 1.67 grams.Although no direct parallel could be found in the usual sources Whitehead (2003: 28-29) illustrates a range of rectangular buckle frames with projecting 'feet' which he dates to c.1500-1650. In other ways this frame is similar to simpler medieval forms and thus a wide date range of c.1400-1650 AD is given.
