Description: | Medieval cast copper alloy asymmetrical buckle with one large oval loop and one smaller rectangular loop. The oval loop is triangular in section with a bevelled outer side and a notch for the pin at the centre of the outer side. The rectangular loop is Square in section. The bar between the loops expands towards the centre where there is a narrowed notch, presumably for the pin. The pin is missing. It is 30.6mm long, 25.3mm wide and 3.8mm thick; it weighs 5.70 grams.Egan and Pritchard illustrate a similar example (1993: 103) no.472 and another example with the strap intact which indicates that, unlike later double looped buckles, the strap looped around the outer bar of the rectangular loop rather than the central bar. They are from contexts dated c.1400-1450 AD (ibid:102).
