Description: | An incomplete Medieval cast copper alloy double looped buckle frame with integral plate between (1250-1400). The artefact consists of the one oval buckle frame and pin from a buckle with two loops and a plate between. The plate has broken off at the central rivet hole and the second loop has been lost. The remaining buckle loop is oval in plan and has a D-shaped section with a flat back. The frame has a recessed bar to house the buckle pin which is made from copper alloy sheet and has been wrapped around the bar. On the upper and lower edges of the buckle frame where the oval meets the plate and the pin is recessed, there is a small raised decorative knop. Aside from this, the frame is undecorated. The second buckle loop and a good deal of the plate have broken off leaving just a stump on each side of a semi-circular impression, which is the remainder of the rivet hole that would have connected plates to the frame. The surface of the buckle frame has a light olive-green patina. Dimensions: length: 13.49mm; width: 18.79mm; thickness: 2.46mm; weight: 2.27g.
