Lead alloy buckle fragments. Three fragments from a buckle of openwork style, probably a debased copy of the Artois court style of ornate buckles for formal wear. The jewels and facets of a decorated buckle frame are here imitated by plain discoid bosses integrally cast on the strands of the frame. Two corners of the buckle and a side or end fragment remain. The fragile material would make a shoe buckle of such metal a shiny but short-lived accessory.
