Description: | Medieval copper alloy buckle: oval frame with outside edge and sides of D-shaped cross-section (flat on the inner face) and a separate bar set in holes in the offset ends of the sides; wire pin (distorted); trapezoidal sheet plate with pin slot, frame recesses and one rivet. Frame 22 x 24.5mm. Plate length 23.5mm, width 9.5mm near the fold (8mm at the inside edge). Overall length 42mm. Post-Roman buckle frames with separate bars are not common, and this example, in terms of its large size and the thinness of its sides and edge, is very unusual, cf.an even larger and more flimsy example from a mid 14th-century context in York (Ottaway and Rogers 2002, 2893-4, fig. 1469 no. 14099). Probably 14th or 15th century. L3
