Description: | A cast copper-alloy buckle of Medieval date. The frame is D-shaped in form and cross-section, with offset and narowed bar and expanded outer edge. At the centre of rhe outer edge is a constriction around which is positioned a small sheet copper-alloy roller. Hingina round the bar is a separately cast copper-alloy plate. This is rectangular in form with upper and lower plate of equal dimension, rectangular frame recesses and pin slot. It is decorated on the front face of the attachment end with a single grooved border, the two plates held together by separately cast copper-alloy rivets with dome-shaped heads. The entire object measures 21.39mm in width (at frame; 12.95mm at plate), 27.60mm in length, 3.64mm in thickness (at frame, 6.21mm at roller), and 5.69g in weight. This buckle frame is similar to examples from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: no. 270) and is of probable c.13th century AD date if not slightly earlier or later.
