Description: | Cast gilt copper alloy double-looped, flat, trapezoidal buckle frame, likely used for a buckling spur. The loops have pointed ends and there is a lobed protrusion at either end of the strap bar. The strap bar is narrowed and flush with the frame. The outside edge of the frame is bevelled and it has a flat base. There is a line of punched circles around the edge of the frame and punched rosettes on the outer edge of each loop. The pin is missing but a lump of iron remains attached to the pin bar, as it has corroded onto it. The frame is 47 mm in length, 23.7 mm in width and 3 mm in thickness and weighs 8.79g. The pin bar is 12.3 mm long and 3 mm wide. Whitehead (1996) illustrates a similar example on page 82, No.514, which he dates to c.1620-1680.
