Description: | A complete cast copper alloy double looped buckle of Post Medieval date (c. AD 1550 - c. AD 1600). Length 46.5mm, width 31.0mm and 2.0mm thick. Weight 8.89g.The frame is moulded at the front and flat at the rear. It is slightly angled upwards in profile, apparently by design rather than as a result of damage. Both loops are oval and similar in shape and size. At the centre of each outside edge is a moulded rosette. Both loops have a raised decorative pellet on each side, located mid-way along the frame. The narrowed bar terminates beyond the frame, with each end having a moulded rosette similar to those on the outside edges. The copper alloy pin is flat and the pin loop fully encloses the bar. The pin tapers to a sharp point and rests on the rosette. The buckle is complete but in two separate pieces that were found together. It is corroded and in poor condition. Due to corrosion, a more detailed account of the decorative rosettes cannot be given, although they seem to have five petals around a central pellet.Similar buckles can to be attributed a later 16th-century date (Egan 2005, 35, ref. 88).
