Description: | Medieval-Post Medieval double oval framed ornate copper alloy buckle with a high concentration of tin, c. 15th century AD.
The buckle measures 31mm in length and is 23mm wide, weighing 7.04g. The buckle is missing the cross bar and the pin, but has evidence of corrosion where the pin rested on the right hand side and where the bar was attached to the frame.
The frame is almost symmetrical in shape with two ovular shapes side by side on the far edges followed by a diagonal raised line either side. The arms of the frame are C-shaped and join to where the cross bar would have been, meeting a lateral raised line in the centre of the frame. The reverse of the buckle is plain. The buckle has a shiny and smooth patina.
