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 loops are not quite symmetrical and one has been bent downwards slightly in profile. The frame is bevelled both internally and externally on the upper surface, the latter more shallowly; the lower surface is flat. The pin bar thus has a trapezoidal cross-section. The pin is now missing, although some traces of corrosion product near its centre suggest that it may have been made of iron. The buckle frame has corroded to a variable mid-dark green colour covered with patches of off-white corrosion product. 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.
