Description: | A complete Medieval cast copper alloy double-looped buckle with gilding, 1200-1500 AD. The buckle frame is rectangular in plan with two rectangular loops separated by an internal strap bar. The frame is D-shaped in section with a flat back. The upper and lower outer edges of the frame are narrowed, the right and left outer edges widen, extending to a blunt point along the central horizontal axis. The buckle frame has bevelled sides all the way round. Projecting from the centre of the upper and lower edges, at either end of the strap bar, is a rounded knop. The sheet copper alloy pin remains intact, wrapped around the strap bar. The front surface of the buckle has been decorated with gilding, but the copper alloy pin has corroded to a dull brown-red colour. The reverse of the buckle frame is also corroded, and has a dark grey-green patina. Dimensions: length: 23.67mm; width: 40.40mm; thickness: 2.14mm; weight: 4.98g.
