Description: | A corroded and incomplete cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle frame of late medieval to early post-medieval date. The frame is formed of a pair of 'Ds' that incurve towards the pin bar. This latter has a broadly square cross section. It features traces of iron corrosion product towards on end suggesting at the composition of the (missing) pin. On the upper surface the frame is bevelled externally; the lower surface is flat. The frame is undecorated. One of the loops has been squashed slightly, while the other has around two-thirds missing. The artefact has corroded to a dark green colour with areas of lighter corrosion product. Buckles of this size with double oval frames have been found in late medieval contexts (cf. Egan and Pritchard 1991, 82-83; refs. 332-333), but as the form persists a later date cannot be ruled out.
