Description: | An incomplete and misshapen cast copper alloy double oval-looped buckle of Medieval to Early Post-Medieval date (c. AD 1350 - c. AD 1600). Length: 40.1mm; width: 36.6mm; thickness: 3.0mm; weight: 7.97g.The pin is missing. The front face of the frame is convex and the rear face is flat. Both loops are similar in plan. There are several small 'nicks' on the inside of each loop. These appear to be deliberate rather than accidental. The outside edge of one of the loops has a small off-centre notch which served as a pin-rest. The central bar is 'D'-shaped in cross-section, flat at the rear. It has a fracture at one end.The frame, including the bar, has a greyish green patina overall.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.
