Description: | A fragment of a cast copper alloy D shaped buckle frame, probably dating to the late Medieval period (Late 13th to Early 14th Centuries). Approximately 25% of the buckle frame is present and consists of the upper half of the external edge of the frame. It is broadly D shaped in cross section. There appears to be an U shaped slot present, presumably the pin rest. The external edge is angled, with traces of gilding visible.The buckle frame fragment measures 22.35mm in length, 17.84mm in width, and 3.50mm thick. It weighs 1.9 grams. A buckle frame of a similar style is depicted as Meols #490, in Egan (2007), page 88 and is dated to the Late 13th to Early 14th Centuries.Reference:Egan, G. 2007.
