Description: | A cast copper alloy triple looped rectangular buckle. The buckle frame weighs 5.25g, and is 28.4 mm long and 27.9mm wide. The outer edge of the frame has a sloping bevel. The central bar is also slightly bevelled. The buckle frame is complete, but lacks only the pin. There is a pin recess cut into one of the larger rectangles. The metal is a mid greyish-brown colour. See Whitehead, R. 'Buckles 1250-1800', p.76. This buckle dates from AD 1350-1500. They appear to have been used as a buckle on a sword belt hanger, during the mid-late medieval period.
