An incomplete cast copper-alloy double-looped annular buckle frame c. 1400 - 1500 AD. Broadly circular, the central bar, divides the loop into two 'D' shape sectors. There are two integral sub-rectangular projections to one outer edge. The buckle has trapezoidal cross sections and is complete, bar the pin. There is no evidence of a pin rest. The surface is now a mottled green with some ferrous staining to the rear. Whitehead (2003) page 46, No.267, illustrates a similar buckle which he dates to c.1400-1500 AD. See WILT-A8E835
