Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy double loop oval buckle frame with a cusped outside edge, dating from the Medieval - Post Medieval period, between AD 1400 - 1650 (length: 39mm; width: 26mm; thickness: 3.5mm; weight: 4.7g).This double loop oval buckle is D-shaped in section and has extensive cusped decoration on the front surface. There are eight/ nine filed grooves along the outside edge of each loop, giving the outer edge of the frame a cusped appearance. Additionally, there is a filed groove to either side of the frame for the pin to rest (although the pin is now completely missing). The back of the buckle is flat and undecorated. The central strap bar is narrowed where the pin (now missing) would have been attached. Overall, the buckle frame is in a worn but fair condition with a dark green patina.A similar example is illustrated in Whitehead, R, 1996, 'Buckles 1250 - 1800', page 60, ref no 354.
