Description: | A cast copper-alloy buckle frame of Medieval date. It is as Meols type C with rectangular frame that has convex sides, an expanded rectangular outer edge that is triangular in section, and an offset and narrowed cylindrical bar. Both sides of the frame have two vertical moulded ridges and the front face of the outer edge has single transverse grooves at each end with diagonal grooves either side of a central pin rest. Hinging around the bar is a separately cast copper-alloy plate that is rectangular in form with rectangular frame recesses and pin slot and concave attachment end. The attachment end of the lower plate is incomplete due to old breaks. The front face of the upper plate has a single rivet hole at the centre of the attachment end and is decrated at its centre with two incised concentric circles containing five punched dots arranged in a cross shaped motif. The entire object measures 21.86mm in width, 41.44mm in length (including plate; 18.01mm excluding plate), 4.67mm in thickness at outer edge, and weighs 7.94g.This buckle frame is identical to an example published from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: no. 439). It is of Medieval date, c. 14th century AD.
