Description: | Copper alloy double looped buckle with incomplete plate. The frame is oval and double looped with only one loop surviving. The upper surface is slightly convex and the reverse is concave. There is worn moulded scrolled decoration on the upper surface, the design of which is now unclear. There is a large lobed knop at either end of the bar. The bar is narrowed and circular in section. The copper alloy pin is bent around the bar and tapered to a point. The pin also appears to have been put on upside-down. The plate is sheet copper alloy and folded. It is unrecessed and has a pin slot. The plate expands before tapering through convex sides, then expanding to form a trilobed terminal. One of the plates is slightly smaller than the other. In this instance the smaller plate forms the upper plate, but it is likely that it would have originally formed the lower plate as the larger plate has foliate decoration. There are two rivet holes, one near the pin slot and other in the centre at the attachment end, the latter of which retains the remains of the iron rivet in the larger plate. There is iron staining on the upper surface of the lower plate around both rivet holes.
