Description: | Medieval or post-medieval cast copper-alloy double-loop buckle frame missing c.90% of one loop to old breaks. The frame has two oval loops which are D-shaped in section with flat backs and slightly widened outer edges. The strap bar is narrowed. The pin is missing but traces of iron corrosion on the strap bar may suggest it was iron. It is now 17.5mm long, 19.1mm wide and 2.8mm thick, it weighs 1.57 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).
