Description: | Incomplete copper alloy late medieval buckle frame, consisting of the outer edge and decorative tri-lobed projection of the frame only. It measures 28.2x23.6x2.2mm and weighs 4.18g.
The frame is semi-circular in shape, to its (old) breaks, where it is c.5mm in width. This increases to 8mm at the outermost point. From here the tri-lobed projection extends.
The frame is decorated with diagonal double-grooves, and flanked on the outside edge by an incised line. The diagonal grooves follow the shape of the frame in an arc, starting at the top edge if the projection is left.
The projection is decorated with short grooves in a foliate style, each of the three lobes becoming a bunch of leaves. The underside of the projection and frame is flat and plain.
This is part of a late medieval so-called 'strap-end buckle', and is missing the open end that would have attached to the strap.
