Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy double looped sub-oval buckle. One loop and strap bar are missing and the broken edges are recent breaks. The remaining loop, on the interior, is oval, with a '3' shaped moulding on the interior edge of the loop apex. The exterior edge of the apex has an integral moulded flower. The reverse of the frame is undecorated and flat. The upper surface of the frame has an incomplete mottled dark brown patina. The buckle measures 17.87mm from the apex to the broken terminals and is 24mm wide across the complete loop. It weighs 1.9g. Similar examples are illustrated in Whitehead (Whitehead, R. 1996 Buckles 1250-1800 Greenlight Publishing), Nos. 372 and 407 which are dated to the mid 16th to mid 17th century.
