Description: | Cast copper alloy double-loop rectangular buckle with drilled frame for separate copper alloy spindle. The frame is asymetrical with the spindle nearer the back edge than the front. The thickened front edge of the frame has a transverse central groove creating a notch for the pin. The edge is bevelled on the back to take the curved strap. There are slight pointed projections on the upper edges of the sides of the frame between the front edge and spindle. The sides are also widened where they are drilled for the spindle. There is a large cast pin with an oval sectioned sheath that covers the width of the frame with the spindle running through it and a wide pointed pin with damaged end projecting from the centre of this sheath. It is 27.5mm wide, 16.8mm wide and 5.8mm thick; it weighs 5.42 grams.Read (1988) illustrates a similar example on page 61, No.271, which is dated from c.1350-1400. Whitehead (2003) illustrates a similar example on page 89, No.554, which are dated from c.1350-1450. These types usually have a locking arm and are thorught to have been used for purses.
