Description: | A cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle frame of late medieval to early post-medieval date. The artefact is incomplete in so far as it is missing its pin. The plain frame is formed of a pair of 'Ds' that incurve towards the pin bar. Although the pin is missing, orange staining and accretion around the pin bar suggests that it would have been made of iron. The upper surface is bevelled both internally and externally; the latter is far shallower. The lower surface is flat, thus giving the pin bar a triangular cross-section. 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. This example has corroded to a mid green colour.
