Description: | Unusual double-looped copper alloy buckle. Almost square (22-23 mm) frame with vertically set sides; broad inside edge with two cast transverse grooves and row of diagonal slashes on raised panel, next to integrally cast crescentic projection decorated with six annulets. Both the bar and the outer edge are separate elements held at each end in holes within the sides. The bar is round sectioned. The outside edge is not visible, being completely obscured by a sheet roller which is decorated with three pairs of rather faint diagonal grooves. The bar is distorted and the stubby D-section pin has been forced below the roller. Two close parallels found in London are dated to the 15th century (Fingerlin 193-4, nos.324-5, cat. nos. 192 & 229). Both have a sheet plate with pin slot around the bar. The pin is present on cat. no. 229, but it is positioned so as to rest not on the roller but on the decorated inside edge. Cat. no. 192 has similar diagonal ornament on both roller and inside edge.
