Description: | A Medieval silver ornate double-looped buckle (14th - 15th century). The buckle frame lies flat and has concave sides and ornate moulded decoration. The pin rest is decorated with an expanded triangular section with radiating grooves creating a fan-shape; this pattern is mirrored on the opposite edge. The concave sides are also decoratively moulded to appear as curved ridges with a projection at each end and three pellets at the junction between the crossbar and the frame. The majority of the outer surface of the buckle is covered with pale gilding. The pin is missing and the overall shape of the buckle is slightly distorted. The buckle is similar in form to one found in London and dated to the 14th - 15th century (Egan & Pritchard 1991:88 no. 384).Dimensions: length: 21.14mm; width: 19.10mm; thickness: 1.94mm; weight: 1.31g.Reference: Egan G. and Pritchard F. 1991. Dress Accessories: Medieval finds from the Museum of London. The Stationary Office, London
