Description: | A cast copper-alloy buckle frame of Medieval to Post-Medieval date. It has a D-shaped frame that is oval sectioned and has slightly concave sides and a thickened outer edge. The bar has a slight constriction and some iron staining but is missing the pin due to old breaks. The front face of the frame, other than the bar, is decorated with multiple diagonal grooves giving the entire object an almost corded appearance. It measures 33.23mm in width, 33.09mm in length, 3.74mm in thickness and 7.80g in weight. This buckle frame finds some similarities in terms of form with examples of later Medieval date from London (e.g. Egan and Pritchard, 1991: nos. 403, 416) and in decorative terms with early Post-Medieval examples from Norwich (Margeson, 1993: no. 155). These suggest a probable later Medieval to Post-Medieval date for the buckle, perhaps in the 15th-16th centuries AD.
