status: Awaiting validation 
Medieval to post-medieval copper alloy double-looped buckle frame, both loops oval with scalloped or serrated edges. Broadly comparable with Whitehead 2003, nos.355-6, but with extremely thin sides and edges. This flimsiness (weight a mere 0.42g) may be the result of decay. Length 17.3mm. Width 12.4mm. c.1450 - c.1550.
