Description: | A worn cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle of post-medieval date. The loops are D-shaped and are bevelled internally on the lower face and both internally and externally on the upper. This bevelling gives the pin bar a lozengiform cross-section. At both ends of the pin bar is a slight moulded knopped protrusion. The tapering pin is of basic construction, being looped round the pin bar for retention. Internal on one of the outer loops is a notch into which the pin could rest. The buckle has the centre (pin bar) bent upwards in profile; whether this was functional or the result of damage is unclear. Although such buckles with moulded protrusions have been found in medieval contexts, they are far more commonly found in later ones.
