Description: | Medieval cast copper-alloy buckle frame and pin. The frame is oval with an offset and thinned strap bar. The frame is oval in section with a deeply incised transverse line creating a pin rest in the centre of the outer edge. There is a copper-alloy sheet pin wrapped 225 degrees around the strap bar, it narrows gradually towards the rounded point. The frame is 22.6mm long, 19.7mm wide and 3.2mm thick; the pin is 20.9mm long and 3.5mm wide by 1.6mm thick; it weighs 4.05 grams in total.Egan and Pritchard (1991: 70) illustrate a very similar example in iron (ref: 278) and they suggest this is a long lived form dating from the mid 12th century to the turn of the 15th.
