Description: | Large copper-alloy double-looped buckle frame, both loops identical. The loops are oval, flaring to a slight point in the centre of the outer edge. The outer edges are decorated with an engraved border, within which are three groups of two to three crudely engraved diagonal lines. Along each of the top and bottom edges are nine knops, four on two diagonally opposite corners and five on the others, each drilled with a blind hole. Each top and bottom edge of each loop also has a pair of short longitudinal engraved lines. On the reverse there are filemarks. A copper-alloy pin survives on the bar. There is a very similar example from a 15th-century context in London (Egan and Pritchard 1991, no. 343); these buckles probably continue in use into the 16th century.
