Description: | A cast copper alloy double looped buckle frame. The pin is missing and there is no pin recess, although traces of iron staining on the strap bar and on one side of the frame indicate that there may once have been an iron pin. Moulded floral lobes survive on each loop. The strap bar projects beyond the edge of the frame, terminating with rounded lobes. The buckle is a mid greyish-green colour, but the surface is heavily pitted and has lost much of its original surface. Traces of a black lacquer remain on the surface of the buckle. These buckles date from circa 1550-1650. Parallels for this type of buckle can be seen in Whitehead, 2003, p66.
