Description: | The object is a double looped oval shaped buckle. It is made from cast copper. Whitehead dates a similar buckle (No. 392) to the mid 16th to mid 17th centuries. Only one loop and the strap bar remains of this frame. The apex of the loop has moulded decoration in the form of a flower. The strap bar is narrowed, and semi-circular in section. The strap bar terminates with a moulded vague lis shape. The breaks of the missing loop are not recent. The surface of the frame has dark grey colour which may be a coating or could be the patina. The buckle measures 25.3mm long from the broken terminals to the apex of the loop and 24.32mm wide across the strap bar. It weighs 3.1g.
