An incomplete late Medieval to Post-Medieval cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle dating to the period 1350-1650
Description: The loops are oval and beveled, the reverse is flat. Both loops and the strap-bar are complete and not worn. The pin for the buckle is entirely missing. The entire buckle is patianted mid green-turquoise and remains in good condition.
