Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy double looped sub-oval buckle. A loop and strap bar are missing and the broken edges are not too recent breaks. The remaining loop, on the interior, is oval, with a slight '3' shaped moulding. The exterior edge of the apex has a moulded pointed oval protrusion. The reverse of the frame is undecorated and hollow. The surface of the frame has a matte mid green patina. The buckle measures 27.52mm from the apex to the broken terminals and is 33.01mm wide across the complete loop. It weighs 5.1g. Similar examples are illustrated in Whitehead (Whitehead, R. 1996 Buckles 1250-1800 Greenlight Publishing), No. 369 which is dated to the mid 16th to mid 17th century.
