Description: | A cast copper alloy double looped rectangular buckle, with an intact strap bar. The buckle has two sub-oval loops. There are moulded and engraved rosette knops on the outer edges of each loop. There are also moulded and engraved trefoil knops at each end of the strap bar. The strap bar is very narrow. Between the rosettes and the trefoils there are further decorative mouldings. The edges of the frames are slightly bevelled. The frame is uninterrupted; so therefore has no pin recess. The pin survives in situ, but is broken. The break is very corroded. The metal has lost most of its original surface and the metal is a mid brownish-green colour, with a smooth patina. This type of buckle dates from circa 1600 - 1720. Parallels for this type of buckle can be seen in Whitehead, 2003, pp71, ref: 444.
