Description: | Medieval cast copper alloy rectangular double loop buckle dating to c.AD 1350-1500. The buckle frame has two rectangular loops, one loop is 80% missing to breaks. The remaining loop has slight indented lines marking off the outer edge from the top and bottom sides. It has an integral strap bar with an integral projecting rectangular loop at one end. The pin is copper alloy wire, circular in section and coming to a point at the end.Buckles with smaller integral projecting rectangular loops are possibly sword belt hangers (Egan and Pritchard 1991, 98-99; Whitehead 1996, 76). They have been stratigraphically dated by Egan and Pritchard (ibid.) to AD 1350-1400 in London but Whitehead (ibid.) provides a wider date range which has been used here.
