Description: | An incomplete buckle with an integral box chape. The majority of the buckle is missing with only the base of the frame and the strap bar remaining. The strap bar is pierced where the pin would have been attached. The box chape is engraved with three worn letters, possibly IHS, within an incised border. The chape has two circular rivet holes, one of which is infilled with corrosion. The rear of the box chape has been damaged. The object has a dark brown patina and the remains of gilding can be seen on the outer face. Similar examples can be found in Whitehead, (2003), p38. The buckle can be dated from AD1390-1500.
