Description: | A corroded and bent cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle frame of medieval to early post-medieval date, incomplete in so far as it is missing its pin. The frame is formed of two conjoined ovals such that the sides incurve. The frame is bevelled both internally and externally, the former more steeply; the lower surface is flat. The pin bar thus has a triangular cross-section. One of the loops has been bent upwards at an angle of around thirty degrees as a result of old damage; the angle is more exaggerated at one end of the loop. Buckles of this size with double oval frames can been found illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 53; ref. 295). Over a red-brown metal a mid-green corrosion product can be seen.
