Description: | An incomplete Medieval to Post Medieval cast copper-alloy double loop annular buckle with copper-alloy drawn wire pin and a portion of a crude copper-alloy buckle plate, normally dating to c. 1350-1650 AD. The remains of the buckle consist of an annular frame with unevenly-positioned crossbar which has been inset into the frame separately; perhaps this is due to a manufacturing oversight or a casting error. Folded over the crossbar, a small sub-triangular pin is nearly intact and a fragment of a crude buckle plate with one rivet remains. The plate and pin have a deeper green patina, whereas the frame and its crossbar have a reddish brown colour. The buckle plate rivet is still intact, although it is composed of iron. This suggests that the buckle was either produced from remnant pieces or that this buckle has been repaired over time. The frame of the buckle has bevelled inner edge. Due to the factors described above, it is likely that this particular buckle dates to the latter period of the general dating and perhaps succeeds this date slightly. It is probable that this particular buckle dates to the c. 17th-possibly mid-18th century AD.
