A cast copper alloy double loop buckle, dating from the Medieval period. The buckle is a small example, and retains not only the copper pin but also a small strap plate affixed to the pin bar; this small folded sheet of copper alloy is looped over the pin bar and would have been secured to a strap with a rivet, which survives intact. It is not common to find such a buckle with the strap plate intact in this way. This type of buckle dates from c. AD 1250-1400.
