Description: | A corroded cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle frame of late medieval to early post-medieval date. This example is incomplete in as much as it is missing its pin. The frame is formed of a pair of 'Ds' that incurve towards the pin bar; one of the outer edges is thicker. The pin bar has a semicircular cross section. On the upper surface the frame is bevelled externally; the lower surface is flat. The frame is undecorated. In profile the buckle can be seen to have been squashed slightly. The artefact has corroded to a mid-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.
