Title
buckle frame and plate
Description
English: A copper alloy Medieval buckle frame and plate. The frame is D-shaped and faceted, with the bar offset and narrowed, with thickened knops to top and bottom. A shield-shaped plate is attached to the bar, and is recessed to top and bottom to accommodate the knops on the bar. There is a pin-slot, but the pin is now missing. The plate wraps around the bar, and fixes with two rivets, parts of which are still in situ. One of the rivet holes is incomplete due to old breaks. Another larger rivet is in situ near the centre outside edge.There are traces of incised line decoration outlining the plate, including some rocker patterning. A small patch of tinning may also be seen on the upper surface of the plate.

The combined width of the frame and plate is 34.66mm and the weight is 6.95g. The frame is 21.79mm in width, and the plate is 20.4mm x 22.45mm.
