Description: | A large cast copper alloy asymmetrical double loop buckle of post-medieval date, which was probably used to fasten a belt at the waist. The buckle measures 73.17mm in length, 54.24mm in width, it is 4.26mm thick and weighs 24.5g. One loop is rectangular and the other loop has rounded ends and a pointed central outer edge. At each end of the central bar there is a bifid knop, with grooves to define them. The pin is wrapped around the central bar, it tapers to a point and it is decorated with two small transverse ridges just below the loop. A similar buckle can be seen in Whitehead's 'Buckles 1250-1800', which has been dated to 1575-1700 (1996, p. 90, no. 559).
