Description: | A Medieval incomplete cast copper-alloy oval buckle frame with ornate outer edge, dating from AD 1250 - 1450. The strap bar and most of the sides are missing with old, patinated breaks. The sides of the frame have bevelled edges and are triangular in section. The outer edge is expanded into three flat oval knops projecting outwards. The outer knops are circular and are decorated with an incised cross (x) on each. The central knop is oval and has two pronounced transverse ridges across it forming a pin rest. There are file marks visible on the reverse. The surviving part of the frame is 23mm wide, 11mm long and 2.9mm thick. 1.95g.This is probably a Meols type 8, (Egan 2008: 84 and 89), dated to the mid 13th to early 15th century. The flattened and incised knops are unusual, but a similar buckle on the database is SOM-61A936.
