Description: | Medieval cast copper alloy buckle frame with ornate outer edge and pin. The strap bar is narrowed and offset. The outer edge is expanded in width and thickness into a circular sectioned roll consisting of four knops. The knops are seperated by grooves and by collars between the inner and outer knops and a double collar between the inner knops, creating a pin rest. The outer knops project out at the end of the roll beyond the narrower sides of the frame. The rest of the frame is triangular in section with a flat outer side. The pin is made of copper alloy wire, 1.3mm in diameter, wrapped 180 degrees around the bar and the short end pinched up to run next to the longer; it is 19.2mm long and ends in a rounded point. The frame is 23.1mm long, 18.3mm wide, 5.2mm thick and the entire thing weighs 4.31 grams. Egan and Pritchard (1991) illustrate similar buckles e.g. No 302, which lacks the extra collars, (pp73-4), which they date to 1200-1400 AD (p.77).
