Description: | A complete cast copper-alloy double looped buckle frame of Medieval to post-Medieval date (c. 1450-c. 1550).The buckle is convex at the front and flat at the rear. In plan, its shape is flower-like, having five sub-rectangular 'petals' of roughly equal size. The narrowed central bar is sub-triangular in cross-section. About mid-way along its length, the bar is thinner due to corrosion and also possibly due to it making contact with the pin loop. At this point there is a small amount of iron staining which probably indicates that the pin (now missing) was made of iron. A patina has not survived and the dull brown surfaces are mainly covered with loose light green copper-alloy corrosion products.26.7 x 24.6 x 2.0mm. Weight: 3.63g.A similar buckle has been dated c. 1450-c. 1550 (Whitehead 1996: 47, ref: 274).
