Image: Medieval Belt Loop. (FindID 114251)
Description: Complete cast copper alloy buckle loop of probable Medieval date (AD 1200 – AD 1400). Length 13mm, maximum width 17mm and 2mm thick. Weight 1.51g. The frame is trapezoidal in plan and roughly rectangular in cross-section. The front and rear faces are flat. It has two, slightly off-centre, internal pointed projections which are aligned opposite to each other in the longitudinal plane. These projections allowed the belt or strap to be adjusted. The buckle loop is in good condition and has a dark green patina.
