Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy double looped buckle of Medieval to Early Post-Medieval date (c. AD 1350 - c. AD 1600). Length: 35.0mm; width: 31.0mm and maximum thickness: 2.6mm. Weight: 5.86g.Each loop is D-shaped and incurve towards the bar. One of the loops is misshapen and is angled upwards steeply. The pin is missing.The front face is convex and the rear face is slightly convex and both loops are similar in plan. The central bar is sub-triangular in cross-section, flat at the rear. On the outside edge of one loop there is a pin-rest in the form of a small groove. The frame and the pin are in poor condition and are mainly covered in copper alloy corrosion products. However, traces of a dark green patina have survived.A similar buckle frame has been recovered from archaeological excavations in London. This London find was from a context containing ceramics which date c. 1350 - c. 1400 (Egan and Pritchard 1991, 82, fig. 50, ref. 332). Buckles of this design also carry on through to the Early Post-Medieval period.
