Description: | A copper alloy Medieval buckle frame. It is bent probably as a result of plough damage, and the surface is worn with large patches of corrosion. The buckle frame is rectangular,perforated with two rivet holes in adjacent corners of one short side. at the opposite terminal the frame is recessed for a pin gap. Traces of a backward-looking animal can be discerned on the outer surface, with its head near the rivet holes, and its tail flourished at the opposite end. The frame measures an estimated 38.5mm in full length, but its current dimensions are 23.12mm in length, 15.85mm in width, 1.5mm in thickness and weighing 4.23g.Egan and Pritchard illustrate similar buckle frames for which a thirteenth century date is suggested.
