Description: | A complete copper alloy medieval or post-medieval double-loop buckle. Both loops are oval-shaped with a thickened outer edge and a narrower central strap bar with a slight knop at each outer end. The outer face is bevelled and the reverse flat. There is a simple pin formed from a strip of metal wrapped around the central bar at one end. It survives in fairly good condition and there is traces of a white metal coating in places on the surface.Similar simple double loop buckles are illustrated by Egan and Pritchard (1991, 83, fig.50) from a late 13th and 14th century contexts in London and several very similar examples are also illustrated by Margeson (1993, 30, fig.16, nos.168-173) from excavations in Norwich, all from post-medieval contexts, suggesting that this simple form was used for a long period.Length: 33.29mm, width: 24.23mm, thickness: 3.08mm, weight: 6.96g | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/ | Go to resource |
