Description: | Incomplete Medieval copper alloy ornate buckle frame with oval aperture, missing its axis bar and pin. It measures 32.32x43.96mm (internal c.13x35.45mm) and weighs 8.43g.The outside edge extends into a triangle with a rounded point and a rounded projection knop either side. It is decorated with three dee grooves between inside and outside edge, at the centre, which would have acted also as a rest for the pin. A shallower groove flanks the inside and outside edges of the frame either side of this central part, with three equally spaced diagonal lines between.The axis bar would have been narrowed and offset. Both faces of the buckle frame have the residue of a black coating, perhaps to enhance the shiny bronze colour of the metal beneath which would have shone through the grooves and incised lines.These buckles are characetristic of the late Norman period (Griffiths, Philpott and Egan 2007 p.101). Cf Griffiths, Philpott & Egan p.102 no.758.
