Title
Medieval to post-Medieval double-oval buckle
Description
English: A copper-alloy double-oval buckle of probable Late Medieval to early post-Medieval date.

The buckle is unusually heavy and robust. The symmetrical frame consists of two 'D-shaped' sides and a central, slightly offset, axis bar. The surfaces of the frame are rounded, becoming vertical on the inner edge. The pin has been looped around the axis bar, its point resting upon a horizontal slot at the centre of one side of the frame. The object measures 50.7mm long, 32.4mm wide and 8.7mm thick. The weight is 33g.
