Description: | A cast copper alloy buckle fragment, probably of medieval date and perhaps an import. The plate is in poor condition and appears to have three lobed terminals, each perforated with a rivet hole; one rivet survives. Part of the upper part of the plate is missing and the missing area is bordered by two or more transverse ribbons of cast pellets. The pin survives but only the bar of the frame. Between the two leaves of the folded plate is a tiny fragment of twisted silver wire; additional fragments of such wire are loose. The wire was probably threaded into the missing textile; this is highly unusual.
