Description: | An incomplete D-shaped copper-alloy buckle frame of medieval date, with the partial remains of a narrowed strap bar. The outer edge of the frame is wide and angled and it tapers at either end, terminating in knops from which the worn remains of the strap bar project. The pin no longer remains. The object is now worn and corroded. The metal is a mid brownish-green colour. The buckle is 26.4mm long, 16.7mm wide, 1.9mm thick and weighs 2.4g.Angled buckle frames similar to this one are known from 13th-century contexts, where they can bear Limoges-style enamelled decoration. Compare NMS-77F431, NARC-5701B6, KENT-C6AB00 and SF7127.
