Description: | A late medieval or post medieval copper-alloy double-loop rectangular buckle frame dating to the period c. AD 1450 - 1600. One loop is complete while the other is missing 75% due to old breaks. There is a separate copper alloy folded pin, attached to the strap bar, the exact form of the pin is unclear, the pin is substantially rounded, and truncated suggesting a old break. The strap bar is narrowed. The rectangular sectioned top, bottom and outer sides are decorated on the obverse with incised lines following the inner and outer edges creating a border, within the central field between the lines are regularly spaced groups of two incised angled lines.It is 40.1mm long and 33.1mm wide, 2.5mm thick and weighs 7.95 grams.Whitehead (2003:78) illustrates a very similar example, no.479, differing only in the number of incised lines, which he dates to c. AD 1450-1600.
