Description: | A medieval (c.1150-1350) copper alloy oval buckle frame missing its pin but with an incomplete sheet plate curled around the offset, narrowed bar. It is of possible zoomorphic form with stylised animal heads to either end of the bar. The frame has an angled outside edge, sloping from the thicker inside outwards. All original patina has been lost and the metal is a browny-purple in colour.The parallel-sided sheet plate curls around the central bar with a central slot for and is fixed at its open end with a single central iron rivet, now badly corroded. On one face the plate is broken around the rivet. This face has a longer central slot for the pin which one might expect to the reverse for aesthetic reasons, but this example is fixed to the 'front' (angled-edge side) of the frame.The frame measures 13.4x17.6mm (internal 8.1x12.4mm), the plate 14.8x10.9mm. In complete length the object measures 25.2mm. It weighs 2.08g.
