Description: | A cast copper-alloy buckle of Medieavl date. It has a flat oval shaped frame with offset and narrowed bar and expanded outer edge. The outer edge of the frame has projecting triangular lobes with a square pin rest at their centre, the front faces of each lobe decorated with incised rocker decoration. A separately cast copper-alloy pin that is flat and triangular in form hinges around the bar. Attached to the bar is a separately cast copper-alloy plate. This is rectangular in form with rectangular pin slot and frame recesses, folded around the bar to form an upper and lower plate, the lower plate narrower than the upper and terminating in old breaks approximately mid-way along the length of the upper plate. The upper plate has three central circular rivet holes evenly spaced along its length, two of which retain separately cast copper-alloy rivets, the hole nearest the frame also perforating the lower plate. The front face of the upper plate has incised rocker decoration. This comprises a border formed from a single line of rocker decoration within which is contained curvilinear floral or foliate motifs that fill the centre of the plate and surround the three rivet holes. The entire buckle measures 16.05mm in width (at frame, 10.57mm in width at plate), 41.20mm in length, 2.32mm in thickness and 4.40g in weight. This buckle frame is of Medieval date, probably belonging in the 14th-15th centuries AD.
