Description: | A medieval to postmedieval cast copper-alloy rectangular buckle frame. The frame is decorated with linear patterns on one side; the underside is plain. There is a concretion around the central bar, which may be the remains of an iron pin. The buckle is concave in section; curved buckles such as this are thought to have been produced for a specific function, perhaps for securing armour ('Buckles' 1250- 1800). A similar example can be seen in 'Buckles 1250 -1800' p77, number 475, which is dated from AD 1400 to 1500.
