Description: | Medieval cast copper-alloy single looped buckle frame, the pin is missing. The frame is sub-trapezoid (kidney shaped) with rounded outer corners and a concave curved outer edge. The strap bar is thinner and curves slightly inwards. The upper and lower sides widen and thicken from the strap bar to the outer edge. The outer edge curves inwards but also widens and thins towards the centre. At the centre of the outer edge there are a group at least eight seemingly randomly arranged short incised diagonal lines. The frame is 48.0mm long, 19.3mm wide and 3.8mm thick; it weighs 7.6 grams.Margeson (1993:27) illustrates a very similar example complete with plate and pin. She suggests this form is a 15th to 16th century development (ibid:25).
