Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy double oval-looped buckle of Medieval or Early Post-Medieval date (c. AD 1350 - c. AD 1600). Length: 19.9mm; width: 24.2mm and maximum thickness: 6.8mm. Weight: 3.23g.One loop is missing due to two old breaks. However, the missing loop was probably oval.The front face of the frame is convex and the rear face is flat. The central bar is roughly 'D'-shaped in cross-section, flat at the rear. The pin, including the loop, is 'D'-shaped in cross-section, flat on the underside. The frame and pin are in poor condition and are mainly covered in copper alloy corrosion products. However, traces of a mid-green patina have survived. Similar buckles have been recovered from archaeological excavations in London. These London finds were from a context containing ceramics which date c. 1350 - c. 1400 (Egan and Pritchard 1991, 82, fig. 50, refs. 332 and 333). Buckles of this design also carry on through to the early Post-Medieval period.
