Description: | A fragment of a cast copper alloy double looped buckle frame. Only one loop survives.The buckle is trapezoidal in shape with moulded decoration of the frame. Triangular shaped 'pointed ends' decorated the short edges of the frame, whilst rounded knops decorate the corners. The edges are chamfered. There is a notch for the pin on the outside edge of the loop, where it expands into the triangular pointed end. This would have held the pin. The pin is missing. The surface is a mid greenish-grey and pitted. This item dates to the post-medieval period, circa 1620-1680.Parallels for this type of buckle can be seen in Whitehead, 2003, p83.
