Description: | A cast copper-alloy rectangular frame from a clasp of medieval date. The frame has slightly convex sides, with transverse ridges at each corner. The moulded outer edge is narrowed and recessed at its centre to accommodate the original folding sheet or roller which has now been lost. The frame's bar is also narrowed and offset. As the plate (and pin) is missing it cannot be fully established whether this frame was from a buckle or a clasp. For rectangular buckle frames see Egan and Pritchard (1991, 96; fig. 61), and for clasps see ibid. (118; fig. 77). The frame has a dark-grey colour with some of the surface covered with light off-white corrosion product.
