Description: | A cast copper double looped oval shaped buckle. The loops are undecorated and semi-circular in section. The reverse is also undecorated and is flat. The strap bar is narrowed, and is triangular in section. The pin is missing. In profile the buckle is flat. The buckle loops have traces of a mid green patina, but is slightly abraded. The buckle measures 23.97mm long and 18.94mm wide. It weighs 2.3g. Egan and Pritchard (2002 Dress Accessories Boydell Press) date a similar shaped buckle (No. 380) to the late 13th to 14th century. Due to the size of the frame Egan and Pritchard (Egan and Pritchard 2002 Dress Accessories Boydell Press) comment that they were probably produced for a specialised function, but what this function is, is unknown.
