Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy double-looped oval buckle with moulded floral decoration on the loops, dating to the Medieval/ Post Medieval period, between AD 1500 - 1650 (length: 45mm; width: 23.5mm; thickness: 2.5mm; weight: 4.28g).This double-looped buckle frame is oval in plan and D-shaped in section with the pin completely missing. There are central protruding trefoil knops along the outside edge of each loop, with a slightly protruding knop at either end of the worn and corroded narrow strap bar. The back of the buckle is flat and undecorated. Overall, the artefact is in a worn and poor condition with a patchy light green patina.A similar example is illustrated in Whitehead, R, 1996, 'Buckles 1250 - 1800', page 64, ref no 392.
