Description: | Medieval cast copper-alloy buckle frame missing its plate and pin. The frame is oval with an offset and narrowed strap bar and offset outer edge recessed in the centre to take a sheet roller which survives in place. The sheet roller has an indented line around the center. The outer edge of the frame has prominent lobed knops flanking the recessed centre which, together with the roller give it almost a barrel shape. The upper and lower sides are convex. The frame is 18.0mm long, 7.0mm thick and 20.0mm wide and weighs 6.92 grams. The roller has developed a greener patina than the rest of the frame sugegsting it is a different composition.Egan (2007, 95) illustrates a very similar example, no.551. He suggests (ibid:86) this type (Meols Type 11) dates to the later 13th to 14th century..
