Description: | An incomplete cast single-looped copper-alloy buckle frame of medieval date. The buckle was of oval form, but only the outer edge and one of the sides now survives. The side is plain and, unusually, narrows as it travels towards the outer edge (max. W.: 6.25mm). The outer edge is, however, solidly made, plain and unusually recessed on its lower surface. The upper surface features a deep, expanding, V-shaped groove which would have acted as a pin rest. Either side of the pin rest is a ridge and groove. Beyond is a diagonally incised line on each side. In the fields between the diagonal line and the grooves are punched circles. The artefact has a variable mid-dark green patina. Although no obvious parallels have been found a general high medieval date can be suggested for this artefact.
