Copper alloy, 3.69 grams; 18.51 mm. Circa 15th century AD. An unusual double-looped later medieval buckle. The loop was not placed on the central bar as with the standard ‘spectacle’ type of double-looped buckled: here the central bar is thicker than the other bars and has a recess for the tongue. The left bar shows wear and evidently held the looped tongue. The right bar resembles the left. The central bar bears a pair of opposed sub-triangular motifs with florid outer edges. On the reverse are two incised ring-and-dot motifs. The narrow strap passed under the left bar, over the central one and was held in place by the right bar.
