Description: | A cast bronze double-looped buckle of the late 17th and early 18th centuries.The frame is sub-rectangular in shape, with decoration symmetrical across verticle and horizontal axes. The central cross bar is missing, and there is no pin. The frame is D-shaped in section and generally worn smooth. The frame curves outward. Each quarter of the frame consists of a decorated leaf motif flaring out to the corner of the frame, which then curves down around the corner and expands into a bulbous head, meeting the head of the next quarter section of the frame. The curvature of the frame suggests this buckle may have been used as a knee-band buckle for breeches or for a shoe.This is a Marshall type V buckle of 17th and 18th centuries (fig. 9 no. 5).
