Description: | Medieval or Post Medieval cast copper-alloy double-loop buckle frame and pin. The frame has two oval loops with flat backs and fronts and rounded sides. The strap bar is narrowed. The copper alloy sheet pin is rectangular in section with rounded corners. The blunt end is wrapped 260 degrees around the strap bar and it tapers gradually towards the point; the tip is missing due to an old break. The frame is 33.4mm long, 23.3mm wide and 1.9mm thick. The pin is 14.2mm long, a maximum of 3.2mm wide and 1.7mm thick. It weighs 3.71 grams in total.A similar example is illustrated in Margeson (1993:30, no.163) from a 17th century context although it is likely similar simple forms were in use by c.1350 (Egan and Pritchard 1993:22, 82-3, cf no.332).
