Description: | A complete Medieval to Post Medieval cast copper alloy double looped buckle (14th- 16th century). The find consists of a buckle frame with two oval loops and a central recessed strap-bar. The buckle frame has a D-shaped section with a flat back. On the upper and lower edges where the strap-bar meets the buckle frame there is a small pointed knop. The sheet copper alloy pin has been wrapped around the strap-bar. The tip of the buckle pin is missing. The buckle has a dark green-brown patina. Egan and Pritchard (1991) illustrate a number of similar examples, p. 83 refs. 332-339, all from late 14th century contexts, however the style is prevalent during the Post Medieval period also, continuing at least until the late 16th century.Dimensions: length: 21.5mm; width: 30.6mm; thickness: 2.0mm; weight: 3.79g.Reference: Egan G. and Pritchard F. 1991.
