A cast copper-alloy buckle frame of Medieval date. It has an oval frame with offset and narrowed rectangular bar, missing the pin due to old breaks. The cente of the outer edge has two large globular beads decorated with diagonal grooves that form a pin rest. It measures 30.78mm in width, 17.52mm in length, 3.23mm in thickness, and 2.37g in weight.
