Description: | An incomplete copper alloy double loop rectangular buckle frame, with locking arm, of Medieval dating (AD 1350 to AD 1450).The buckle frame is rectangular in plan, with a double loop. The sides of the frame are pierced for a separate spindle. The front is notched with a transverse groove. The pin has been made from copper alloy, and has a cylindrial fitting located around the spindle. The pin is triangular in shape. The locking arm is incomplete, with a circular cross section.It measures 34.0 mm in length, 33.8 mm wide and 6.0 mm thick. It weighs 9.4 g.The buckle is a dark green colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the ploughsoil, has resulted in the loss of some of the original surface detail.A similar buckle frame has been recorded on the PAS database as WMID-5EC0B6. Other similar ones have been published as no 552-554 by Whitehead (1996, p89) and he has dated them to c. AD 1350 to c. AD 1450.
