Description: | A damaged cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle frame of medieval date. The buckle is incomplete insofar as it is missing its pin. The frame is formed of a pair of ovals which incurve towards the pin bar. The lower surface of the buckle is flat while the upper surface is shallowly bevelled externally. The pin bar has semicircular cross-section. The upper surface is decorated with basic oblique incisions. A parallel can be found illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 52; ref. 287), albeit it has been given a wide date range. An excavated example from London, however, suggests that the form was later medieval (Egan and Pritchard 1991, 83; ref. 342). Viewed in profile, one can see that one loop has been struck upwards considerably, with the strike just off centre. The object now has a dull grey patina.
