Description: | A small, corroded and damaged cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle frame of late medieval to early post-medieval date. This example is incomplete; it is missing its pin and the centre of the pin bar has abraded right through. The frame is formed of a pair of 'Ds' that incurve towards the pin bar. On both surfaces the frame is flat. This plain frame has corroded to a dull grey colour with areas of lighter corrosion product. In profile the buckle can be seen to have been bent. 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.
