Description: | Copper alloy buckle fragment. Cast concavo-convex expanded outer edge from a D shaped or single looped buckle with ornate incised decoration of arcs and curls. Slight traces of gilding remain at the inswing to narrowed sides of the frame, which is otherwise lost. The marked bevel, perhaps achieved by bending or beating over a former, would have significantly lightened a large buckle frame which would otherwise have been inconveniently weighty for a dress accessory. Suggested date: Medieval, 1300-1400.Length: 23.3mm, Height: 41.9mm, Thickness: 1mm, Weight: 3.53gms.
