Description: | A Medieval copper alloy double looped buckle dating from about 1250 - 1350 AD. Each loop is D shaped and the curved side is expanded and angled. There is a slight knop at each end of the bar. The copper alloy pin is wrapped round the bar and has a collar. It is quite thick (about 2mm) and bends downwards slightly at the tip. The plate is folded round the bar with a slot for the pin. The front plate tapers to a point and the backplate is a similar shape but shorter. The are fastened by a single copper alloy rivet at the end of the backplate. The buckle is very corroded with bright green corrosion products, but much gilding survives on the plate and some on the frame.Similar but single looped buckles include HAMP-DA2351 and BH-2E9AB5.
