Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy double-loop buckle, probably dating from the Late Medieval period.The intact side of the frame is rectangular, with a central axis bar. Most of the frame is of hexagonal section, whereas the axis bar is of oval section. A rectangular hanger projects outwards from the centre of one of the longer sides, linking the intact half of the frame to the remains of the second. The buckle has been coated with tin or silver.Length: 29.8mm; width: 38.4mm; thickness: 4.4mm; weight: 9.2g.A similar buckle was found in a late 14th century level in London (Egan and Pritchard 1991: 99/fig. 63, no. 457); it was suggested that it may have served to suspend a sword scabbard from a belt.
