Description: | A complete Medieval to post-Medieval cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle (c. 1350-c. 1650).This buckle is convex at the front and flat at the rear. Each loop is oval, similar in size and shape and steeply bevelled internally. The narrowed bar is square in cross-section and the copper-alloy tapering pin is fused to the bar at its centre. The pin is rectangular in cross-section and the pin loop is wrapped around the bar. It has a length of 12.90mm and the width at the loop is 1.56mm.This buckle is corroded overall with iron staining on the bar and off-white deposits on the frame. It is feasible that the pin was originally iron and then later replaced by the present one of copper-alloy. There are numerous file marks on the rear face of the frame.Length: 22.86mm; width: 18.36mm; thickness: 2.58mm. Weight: 3.51g.A similar buckle has been published and dated c. 1350-1650 (Whitehead 1996: 53, ref: 295).
