Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy silver plated double looped asymmetrical buckle with moulded decoration on the loops, dating to the Post Medieval period, between AD 1550 - 1700 (length: 23.5mm; width: 18.5mm; thickness: 2mm; weight: 2.0g).This double looped buckle is asymmetrical and sub-'A' shaped in plan, with a trapezoidal section. There are six lobed knops along the outside edge of the rectangular loop as well as lobed knops at the two symmetrical points along the outside edge of the rounded loop. Additionally, there is a lobed protrusion protruding outwards from either end of the central strap bar. The pin is completely missing. The front and back of the buckle frame is mostly covered with sliver plating. Overall, the buckle is in a slightly worn but fair condition with some corrosion at the decorative knops.A similar example is illustrated in Whitehead, R, 1996, 'Buckles 1250 - 1800, page 92, ref no 577.
