Description: | Medieval cast copper alloy single oval buckle frame. The frame is oval in cross section with a widened and thickened outer edge with pairs of inscribed parallel lines on either side of the scored notch for the pin rest. The pin is missing. The upper and lower edges are have broken off so that the strap bar is missing. On the upper edge enough of an angle remains to suggest that the bar would have been recessed. Incised lines here would have marked the strap bar. The frame is 29.7mm long and 18.2mm wide and is a maximum of 7.29mm thick. It weighs 4.80 grams. The buckle surface is a uniform olive grey-green. A similar example is illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991), p.70, fig. 42, ref. 277. They suggest this is a long lived form dating from the mid 12th century to the turn of the 15th century.
