Description: | A complete cast copper alloy double looped buckle frame of Post Medieval date (AD 1550 - AD 1650). Length 49.3mm, width 28.2mm and maximum thickness 3.1mm. Weight 9.46g.The frame is convex at the front and flat at the rear and consists of two identical oval loops. The bar is narrow and is sub-triangular in cross-section and at the centre it has been narrowed by friction with the missing pin. The bar extends beyond the frame at each side to form small knops. The frame, including the bar, have small patches of iron corrosion. At each outside edge of the frame is a moulded rosette which is poorly defined, possibly due to wear or possibly due to the morphology of the mould in which it was cast. There is no evidence on the outside edges for a pin rest. The piece has a patchy mid-green patina and is in poor condition due to corrosion. It also has a patchy coating of black lacquer.
