Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy object, possibly a buckle frame of uncertain date. What appears to be the projecting pin rest and part of the frame survives intact, the remainder of the object now missing due to old breaks. The pin rest is flat, triangular in form and with a large central moulded groove. At its base it appears to curve outwards towards a frame before terminating in old breaks, the precise form of the frame uncertain due to old breaks. The front face of the object beneath the pin rest has moulded decoration comprising a curving band of S-shaped motifs. It measures 15.03mm in length, 17.91mm in width, 1.91mm in thickness and 1.34g in weight.The precise form of this object remains uncertain. Its shape is suggestive of a buckle frame, forming part of the outer edge and projecting pin rest. If this is indeed the case then, combined with the decorative elements, it might indicate a date from the Medieval period onwards, although an earlier date range cannot be ruled out entirely.
