Description: | An incomplete copper alloy medieval buckle frame. It it roughly rectangular in shape, but the shorter sides curve outwards slightly. The strap bar is narrowed and the pin is missing. The outer end is thicker than the other sides and each end of its outer face is decorated with a simple incised saltire cross with three faint transverse grooves at regular intervals between these.Its form is similar to Meols Type 8 to 10 (Griffiths et al. 2007, 84, fig.2.5.1) and it could therefore be of similar mid-13th to early 15th century date. No direct parallel has been found, but a medieval buckle from Norfolk recorded by the PAS has similar saltire decoration: NMS-C27F64. Length: 42.51mm, width: 24.82mm, thickness: 2.05mm, weight: 5.00g
