Description: | Copper-alloy oval double loop buckle with moulded decoration, dating to c. 1550-1650 (Whitehead 1996, 63). This post-Medieval buckle frame is complete, but is missing its buckle pin, and would have been attached to a belt without a buckle plate. The buckle is solid cast with protruding moulded roundels at both loop-sides and two smaller nodes at the top and bottom of the central belt loop shaft. A belt would then have been looped through and fixed with a pin attached to the central shaft. The two side roundels have a central dot within them; however due to the corrosion of the surface, further detail has been lost. The metal is a medium-green jade colour with darker orange-red colouration on the central belt loop shaft. For close PAS database parallels: SUSS-51E156, GLO-B58F30, IOW-116B95, WILT-FB22E2, BLO-5436A2 (with rosette roundel), BH-E75965, GLO-40F294. For further examples see Whitehead (2003) Nos. 376, 377, 378.
