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 is now missing. The buckle frame has corroded to a variable mid-green colour with patches of cream corrosion product; the underlying red-brown metal shows through in places. The buckle has been bent both upwards and downwards as a result of old damage. 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.
