Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy double loop trapezoidal buckle with moulded decoration on the loops, dating to the 17th century AD (length: 30.8mm; width: 41.3mm; thickness: 3mm; weight: 9.26g). A splayed sub-rectangular end with ovoid knops at either end, and as the frame curved inwards, there are slight moulded protrusions to either side of the narrow strap bar, before a single arm/ wing at either side kicks outwards and curls round like a claw. The buckle frame continues to narrow before another strap bar with a circular platform in the centre. The frame does continue beyond this second bar, but breaks off shortly afterwards. However, these breaks may have originally extended into decorative winged ends. The buckle has no other decoration and the back is also flat.Other examples of this buckle type are illustrated in Whitehead's 'Buckles 1250-1800', page 84.
