Description: | Medieval cast copper-alloy oval buckle frame with ornate outer edge and in situ pin. The strap bar is narrowed and offset. The sides of the frame have bevelled edges and are triangular-trapezoid in section. The outer edge is expanded into three flat oval knops projecting outwards separated by grooves. The outer knops are decorated with cross hatched incised lines and the central one has a transverse incised line across it as a pin rest. There is a crude copper alloy wire pin with a pointed tip wrapped 210 degrees around the strap bar, probably a replacement. The frame is 21.2mm long, 19.7mm wide and 2.0mm thick; the pin is 16.8mm long and 1.0mm in diameter; it weighs 2.53 grams in total.This is a Meols type 8, (Egan 2008: 84 and 89), dated to the mid 13th to early 15th century. The flattened rather than thick knops are unusual.
