Description: | A broken cast copper-alloy buckle frame of medieval date. Only the outer edge and parts of the sides survive. The sides have been bent inwards, perhaps as a result of old damage to a rectangular frame; alternatively the frame was originally trapezoidal. The external edge has a V-shaped groove running along the thickness of the frame. The upper surface of the outer edge features a central transverse pin rest. Either side of this, the upper surface is decorated with punched annulets. The lower surface of the outer edge is bevelled internally. The metal is a deep grey-green colour with little corrosion. A direct, trapezoidal, parallel has been recorded on this database: ref. WAW-356DD0. Both buckles can be dated to the latter centuries of the medieval period.
