Description: | Half of a cast copper alloy double looped buckle, with an intact strap bar. The buckle had two sub-oval loops, only one survives. There are moulded and engraved rosette knops on the outer edges of each loop. There are also moulded knops at each end of the strap bar. The strap bar is very narrow. The frame is uninterrupted; so therefore has no pin recess. The pin is missing. The metal has lost most of its original surface and the metal is a dark greyish-green colour. This type of buckle dates from circa 1550 - 1650. Parallels for this type of buckle can be seen in Whitehead, 2003, p63.
