Description: | Medieval cast copper alloy buckle frame. Only c.40% of the frame survives, the rest is lost to old breaks and the pin and plate are missing. The frame was D-shaped, only the distorted outer edge survives. It has a swollen outer edge with a thickened oval swelling in the centre flanked by grooves. This oval swelling appears to be integral rather than being a separate sheet roller. It is now 30.3mm long, 9.5mm wide and 6.5mm thick; it weighs 3.40g. The remaining fragment is highly corroded with most of the surface lost.Similar buckles are illustrated in Egan (2007:91) e.g. no.498 although with a double rather than single knop in the centre, where thery are categorised as Meols type 4 and it is suggested they date from the late 14th centuries (ibid:88).
