Description: | An incomplete copper alloy buckle frame. The buckle is 'C' shaped. The longest side is round in section, becoming slightly thicker towards the middle. The shorter sides are also round in section and angled inwards. The corners are very rounded. There is no evidence of how this frame would have functioned as a buckle; no breaks can be seen and there are no holes for rivets. However, the frame is so worn that the ends of the shorter sides could have becomed rounded following breakage. A an example of a similar buckle is listed in Egan (2005, pp.36-7), fig.19, no.105. He dates this to the late 15th - early 16th century. The metal is greenish-brown and very pitted.Length: 33.5mm, Width: 19.4mm, Thickness: 6.5mmWeight: 8.2g
