Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy double oval-looped buckle of Medieval to Early Post-Medieval date (c. AD 1350 - c. AD 1600). Length: 30.0mm; width: 23.1mm; thickness: 2.6mm; weight: 3.36g. The pin is missing.The front face of the frame is convex and the rear face is flat. Both loops are similar in plan. Both outside edges have a small notch which served as a pin-rest. The central bar is 'D'-shaped in cross-section, flat at the rear.The frame, including the bar, has traces of a mid-green patina.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.
