Description: | A Medieval to post-Medieval cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle frame (c. 1350-c. 1650). Each loop is oval in plan and similar in size. The frame is convex at the front and flat at the rear and the inner faces of each loop are slightly bevelled. The central bar is sub-triangular in cross-section, flat at the rear. Flecks of iron corrosion/staining on one side of the and also on the inner face of one of the loops may suggest that the missing pin was made of iron. There is no indication of a pin-rest. There is a pitted and flaking mid green patina overall. No indication of any surface treatment. 24.2 x 18.3 x 1.9mm. Weight: 2.31g. A similar buckle has been dated c. 1350-1650 (Whitehead 1996: 53, ref: 294).
