Description: | An unusual medieval copper alloy buckle. The frame is trilobate and has a narrow offset bar. The frame widens markedly and inturns sharply beyond the narrow bar. The outer part of the frame has a large tongue-shaped projection with a prominent central groove which forms the pin seating. Either side of the groove is a punched ring and dot stamp. Zigzag lines run either side of the central groove and curve around the inner edges of the frame.The use of ring and dot stamps is very unusual on a medieval buckle and this, coupled with the trilobate form may suggest an origin outside Britain.
