Description: | A complete copper alloy double looped buckle frame, of Late Medieval dating (AD 1350 to AD 1650).The buckle frame has two sub oval loops, with a recessed central bar. The outer loops are expanded, with an bevelled edge. The pin has been made from a sub triangular sheet of copper alloy metal. It has a blunt point. The pin has been wrapped around the central bar.The buckle frame measures 32.6 mm in lenght, 26.5 mm wide and 6.7 mm thick. It weighs 6.3 g.The buckle frame is a mid green colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail.A similar buckle frame has been recorded as no 290 by Whitehead (1996, p 53) and has been dated to c. AD 1350 to c. AD 1650.Reference:Whitehead, R. 1996. Buckles 1250 to 1800. Greenlight Publishing. Witham.
