Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy double looped oval buckle (pin missing) with moulded floral decoration, dating to the 16th/ 17th century AD (length: 41mm; width: 28mm; thickness: 2mm; weight: 5.78g).There is cinquefoil moulding on the outer edge of each loop and trefoil moulding at either end of the strap bar, which is narrowed and slightly recessed from the front edge of the frame. The decorative and side profile is slightly raised at the front of the buckle, but the back of the artefact is completely flat. The buckle is in a worn and corroded condition with some probable patches of tinning on the surface.A similar example is illustrated in Ross Whitehead's 'Buckles 1250-1800', page 65, ref no 403.
