Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy tinned double loop sub-oval buckle, dating to the 16th/ 17th century AD (length: 25.2mm; width: 16mm; thickness: 6.1mm; weight: 4.60g). The buckle frame has rounded ends and slightly concave sides and a narrowed strap bar which is recessed from the front edge of the frame. To either side of the strap bar, there are three rectangular and segmented mouldings, and a notch on one end of the frame for the pin. The strap bar and possibly remains of the chape were made of iron due to a large amount of corrosion in the centre of the buckle. The artefact is in a slightly worn but fair condition.Similar examples are illustrated in Whitehead's 'Buckles 1250-1800', 1996, pages 70-1.
