Description: | A cast copper alloy, rectangular double loop buckle dating to the Post Medieval period, c.1500-1630. The buckle frame has two rectangular loops with bevelled edges on the front and a flat back. An integral strap bar , ovoid in section, divides the two loops and an integral projecting loop expands from one end. The pin is missing. It measures 47.6mm in length including the loop (36.6mm excluding), 32.2mm in width, 3.7mm thick (10.4mm including the loop) and weighs 8.48g.Buckles with smaller integral projecting rectangular loops are possibly sword belt hangers (Egan 1991, 98-99; Whitehead 1996, 76). They have been stratigraphically dated by Egan (1991) to phase 11 (1350-1400) but Whitehead provides a wider date range which has been used here.
