Description: | Medieval cast copper alloy buckle frame. The long frame is trapezoidal, with the outer side slightly longer than the strap bar, and it has a convex front and a flatter back. There are incised diagonal transverse lines across the three longer sides, all now worn to an almost smooth surface. The narrow, undecorated, end is slightly thinned to make a strap bar. It is 30.4mm long, 25.2 mm wide along the longer side, 23.0mm along the strap bar and 3.3mm thick, it weighs 4.23 grams.Whitehead (2003:30) illustrates an undecorated buckle of similar shape (no.169) and a buckle with similar decoration but a concave outer side (no.173) both of which he dates to c. AD 1350-1500.
