Description: | A corroded and distorted 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 towards the pin bar. The frame is bevelled both internally and externally, the former more steeply; the lower surface is flat. The cross-section of both the frame and pin bar is therefore broadly triangular. One of the loops has been bent down in plan at the outer edge as a result of old damage; the pin bar has suffered a hairline crack. The object has corroded to a variable grey/green colour. Buckles of this size with double oval frames have been found in late medieval contexts (cf. Egan and Pritchard 1991, 82-83; refs. 332-333), but as the form persists a later date cannot be ruled out.
