Description: | Medieval or Post Medieval cast copper-alloy double-loop buckle frame with attached plate. The frame has two oval loops with flat backs and inner sides and rounded outer sides. The strap bar is narrowed. The plate is incomplete and consists of a rectangular strip of copper alloy sheet, 0.5mm thick, bent in half over the strap bar with a central slot for the pin at the bend. The back plate has broken off after the bend and the end of the front plate is irregular and appears broken. There are the corroded remains of two separate circular rivets through the front plate, probably of copper alloy. In the pin slot and in the centre of the opposite loop are traces of iron corrosion suggesting the pin is of iron. The frame is 29.1mm long, 21.7mm wide and 2.9mm thick, it is 31.2mm long and weighs 4.00 grams in total.A similar example is illustrated in Margeson (1993:30, no.164) from a 17th century context , although with an incised line across the centre of one loop, it is likely similar simple forms were in use by c.1350 (Egan and Pritchard 1993:22, 82-3, cf no.332).
