Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy buckle frame of Roman or later date. Half of the frame and part of the bar survive intact, the remainder of the object now missing due to old breaks. The frame is D-shaped in form and section with a concave back face, terminating in old breaks close to the centre of the thickened outer edge. The bar is rectangular in form and D-shaped in section with a slight projection to the side where it joins the frame and the remains of a possibly pin slot at the centre where it terminates in old breaks. The entire object has a dark green patina and measures 12.29mm in surviving width, 24.43mm in length, 2.82mm in thickness, and weighs 2.05g.This buckle frame is of uncertain date. It finds parallels in Roman examples (e.g. SF-F7F160) dating as early as the 1st century AD, but may equally be of later, Medieval, date (e.g. Margeson, 1993: no. 143).
