Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy double looped buckle of Post-Medieval date (c. AD 1550 - c. AD 1650). Length 35.4mm, width 21.0mm and 3.1mm thick. Weight 3.87g. About one half of one of the loops is missing due to two old breaks. The pin is also missing. When complete, the frame would probably have been symmetrical in plan. The surviving loop is oval-shaped. The loops (the complete one and the surviving part) are both convex at the front and bevelled at the rear. The outside edge of the complete loop has a large pointed knop with a central longitudinal groove. The central bar is narrowed and is sub-circular in cross-section. It is about 10.0mm in length and the width is about 2.0mm.The front of the frame is mainly covered with a mid-green patina but the patina on the rear face is largely lost.A similar buckle has been dated, c. 1550 - c. 1650 by Whitehead (Whitehead 1996, 62, ref. 373). A similar and complete buckle has been recorded from the Isle of Wight. See Portable Antiquities Scheme find: IOW-C2A7D0.Other similar buckles have been recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database. For example, see finds from West Aston Parish, Wiltshire (WILT-E323C2), Broad Hinton Parish, Wiltshire (WILT-0C79F4) and North and Middle Littleton, Worcestershire (WAW-AFB596).
