Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy double looped sub-oval buckle. One loop is complete missing, the other is incomplete. The broken edges are recent. The remaining loop, on the interior, is oval, with a '3' moulding with a sub-triangular protrusion. The exterior edge of the loop has an integral knop which protrudes from the apex of the loop. The knop is sub-oval and has radiate grooves as decoration. The strap bar is narrowed and triangular in section. The strap bar is also incomplete. The terminal of the strap bar has moulded decoration in the form of a sub-lozenge. The reverse of the frame is slightly hollow. The pin is missing. The upper surface of the frame has an incomplete, but shiny dark green patina, whereas the reverse is slightly rough and is a mottled matte brown/black. The buckle measures 35.02mm long from loop knop to the strap bar and 54.49mm wide across the complete loop. It weighs 13.1g. Similar examples are illustrated in Whitehead (Whitehead, R. 1996 Buckles 1250-1800 Greenlight Publishing), Nos. 372 and 407 which are dated to the mid 16th to mid 17th century,
