Description: | A copper alloy Medieval to Post-Medieval (1350-1600) double oval buckle frame with pin intact (and possibly missing a plate). The buckle measures 22.12mm x 17.24mm x 2.55mm and weighs 1.62g. The internal measurements of the loops are c.12x6mm. The integral bar is roughly square in cross section and extends either side of the frame. The buckle has bevelled edges (they slope inwards when viewed from reverse). The pin is sheet copper alloy cut to a point at its end and of a different copper alloy than the frame.This buckle is similar to HAMP-DA7496 and no. 294 in Whitehead (1996, 'Buckles 1250-1800). Examples of this type of buckle frame from London (Egan and Pritchard 1991 nos.331 to 342) date from the second half of the fourteenth to the second half of the fifteenth century, but as the form persists a later date cannot be ruled out.
