Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy post-medieval double-looped buckle frame. The frame is missing the majority of one of its loops and the pin. It has a flat lower face and bevelled upper surface giving it the shape of a triangle with rounded corners in cross-section. The pin bar, however, in cross-section is the shape of a square with rounded corners. From the outer edge the frame is incurving, before curving outwards towards the pin bar to form protrusions at the ends of the pin bar. The upper surface is decorated with a succession of punched dots on the inner side of the face. Beyond this, at the pin bar, are groups of three punched crescents. There are three further crude groups of crescents on the outer edge. Traces of gilding survive on the upper surface. The punched application of the decoration, as well as the motifs used, suggests a 17th-century date for this buckle (cf. Whitehead 1996, 82-83).
