Description: | Small copper-alloy buckle frame, D-shaped internally; the outer edge has a central grooved projection forming the pin rest. There is a moulding across one side near the bar, but this has no pair across the other side. There are traces of a black coating, perhaps black 'lacquer' (a linseed oil coating). It measures 16 mm long and 19 mm wide, and weighs 1.31g.This is a rather amateurish copy of the 'lipped' buckle frames from London, found in deposits dated to c. 1270 to c. 1400 (Egan and Pritchard 1991, nos. 306-310). The moulding on the side near the bar is also found on the frames of strap clasps made from the late 13th to early 15th centuries.
