Description: | A cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle frame of medieval to early post-medieval date. The frame is formed of two conjoined ovals such that the sides incurve. The frame is bevelled both internally and externally on the upper surface, the latter far more shallowly; the lower surface is flat. The pin bar is slightly narrowed and recessed. The pin is now missing although slight traces of orange-brown corrosion product on the pin bar suggest that it may have been made of iron. The buckle frame has corroded to a variable mid-green colour with patches of cream corrosion product all overlying a red-brown metal. There is a notch on the interior of one of the loops near the pin bar. 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.
