The ornate outer edge of a oval buckle, typically dating to c.1250 to 1400 AD. The find consists of the ornate outer edge of a cast copper alloy single looped oval buckle. The rest of the frame has been broken off in antiquity. It consists of four knops, with three prominent grooves separating them. The central groove would have acted as the rest for the buckle pin. The external knops are a darker green in colour compared to the two central knops, suggestive of a different alloy used for the two sections.
