Description: | A small cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle of medieval to post-medieval date. The loops are oval in form and have neatly serrated outer edges, each with seven points. The loops are bevelled externally on the upper surface; the lower face is flat and plain. The loops incurve towards the pin bar; the pin is now missing. One of the loops has been bent upwards in profile. The other has been broken at one end of the junction with the pin bar. Buckles with outer edges treated in this way can be found illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 60; particularly ref. 356). Here they are dated from c. 1450 to 1600 AD. The corrosion product is largely an off-white colour; the underlying metal appears to be red-brown.
