Description: | Copper alloy double loop trapezoidal buckle. The upper surface of the frame is bevelled and the reverse flat and undecorated, so the frame is generally triangular in section (L. 30.9mm. W. 19.9mm. Th. 4.5mm). The upper surface bears moulded decoration. On the outer edge of each loop are three grooves separated by raised ridges, the central groove most likely serving as the pin rest. Each loop narrows towards the bar where the frame is thickened on either side of the bar. There are two grooves aligned with each edge of the bar. The frame is drilled to accommodate an iron spindle which supports the copper alloy plate and iron pin. The plate tapers from the bar to a crescent-shaped terminal (L. c. 25.5mm. W. 14.7mm. Th. 1.9mm). The upper and lower surfaces are flat and undecorated, although there are file marks on the curved edge of the crescent-shaped terminal. The pin is missing, although considerable iron corrosion at the centre of the bar. Patchy mid-green patina.
