Description: | An incomplete cast, copper alloy buckle frame with an integral plate which is probably of early Medieval date (from about 1100-1400). Almost all of the frame is missing. There is a hole for the now-missing pin. There is a raised transverse band across the plate at the frame end. This is decorated with incised transverse lines. The rest of the plate is triangular in section and decorated with groups of diagonal incised lines and deeply recessed circular depressions. The end of the plate is a patinated break. The plate tapers from the frame towards the other end. There is a rivet hole with an intact rivet near the tapered end; there is a second rivet hole near the frame end, which is very small on the front but much larger on the reverse. The reverse is slightly hollow. The buckle has a medium green patina.Parallels on the database suggest a date of 1200-1400, though a slightly earlier date can not be ruled out. Please compare to PAS record IDs: DENO-3A9566, SUSS-42A4D4, SUR-B43D63 and NMS-D69F32, though it is acknowledged that none are the same design as this example and PAS record ID: SWYOR-BBDED6.Length: 35.7mm; Width: 14.7mm; Thickness: 7.7mm; Weight: 5.87g
