Description: | Medieval or post-medieval cast copper-alloy double-loop buckle frame. The frame has two oval loops which are D-shaped in section with flat backs. The strap bar is plain and the pin is missing. The surface is badly corroded, obscuring any decoration or pin rest. The loops are irregular with areas that are thicker and wider seemingly at random, it is unclear if this is due to corrosion or mis-casting. It is 28.8mm long, 24.6mm wide and 2.7mm thick, it weighs 2.71 grams in total.A similar example is illustrated in Margeson (1993:30, no.164) from a 17th century context , although with an incised line for a pin rest in the centre of each loop, it is likely similar simple forms were in use by c.1350 (Egan and Pritchard 1993:22, 82-3, cf no.332).
