Description: | A cast copper double looped oval shaped buckle. The loops are undecorated, but the outer edge is obliquely angled. The loops expand slightly in width towards the apex. The reverse is undecorated and the surfaces of the loop are obliquely angled. The strap bar is narrowed, and is triangular in section. The pin is a cast copper alloy elongated triangle which is curled around the strap bar. In profile the buckle is a wide 'V' shape. The buckle loops have traces of a mid green patina, but is generally abraded. The buckle measures 23.13mm long and 17.5mm wide. It weighs 2.9g. Egan and Pritchard (2002 Dress Accessories Boydell Press) date a similar shaped buckle (No. 332) to the mid 14th to mid 15th century.
