Description: | Post Medieval cast copper alloy double loop rectangular buckle frame with a transverse supension loop at one end of the strap bar. The frame has a narrowed strap bar and bevelled inner and outer edges on the outer sides of the loop, meaning the outer sides are set at an angle. The suspension loop is oval with a drilled circular hole, now broken at one side. The frame is 32.2mm long, 37.0mm wide and 4.3mm thick; the suspension loop is 10.2mm by 9.9mm by 2.8mm; the whole weighs 6.60 grams.
