Description: | A copper alloy buckle frame dating to the medieval period, c. 1350 to 1450.The clasp frame is sub-rectangular in plan and rectangular in cross-section. The strap bar is recessed both above and below. The outer edge is recessed as well, with two steps: the first to a trapezoidal zone, and then to the edge itself which is formed of a central semi-cicrcular protrusion, larger than two further triangular protrusions that flank it on either side. There is some moulding on this part of the object however the intended style is unclear. The reverse of the outer edge is curved and recessed.There is a similar example in Egan and Pritchard (1991), number 568 however the style is anthropomorphic rather than zoomorphic. There are similar examples recorded on the PAS database, see for example PAS-142DC9 and YORYM-
