Description: | A broken medieval copper alloy double loop asymmetrical locking buckle. Consists of a centre bar terminating in a curved pointed hook, attached to a small section of the broken frame via a drilled connection. The pin and the other side of the frame are both drilled and still attached to the bar and freely rotate around it. The bar is narrowed where it passes through the frame and widens to prevent the frame from moving sideways, before curving around 180 degrees and tapering to a point. The pin is complete, and consists of a drilled rectangle 12.7mm wide by 9.7 long with a 5.7mm pointed projection at the distal end. There is an area of surface loss at one face where a buckle plate would presumably have been soldered. The surviving section of the frame is 18.4 mm long by 17.8mm wide, but only the narrower of the two loops still has the end present. The buckle has a greeny-brown patination and has no visible surface decoration.There is a very similar example illustrated in Whitehead's 'Buckles' as no. 553, which is dated to 1350 - 1450.
