Description: | Medieval or post-medieval plain cast copper-alloy double-loop buckle frame. The frame has one surviving oval loop with the stubs of the second, the rest is lost to old breaks. The remaining loop has a flat back and inner edge and angled outer edge. It is badly corroded and varies in width around the loop but this appears to be due to corrosion rather than original. The strap bar is narrowed with a triangular cross-section. The pin is missing. It is 13.8mm long, 18.6mm wide and 2.5mm thick, it weighs 0.85 grams.It is likely that simple forms like this were in use by c.1350 (Egan and Pritchard 1993:22, 82-3, cf no.332), and they continued into the 17th century.
