Description: | Post medieval buckle; cast copper alloy double-looped buckle with rectangular loops dating from the 17th century. This buckle has an elaborate, decorated buckle frame and the pin is still present. The outer edge of the frame is ornamented with a trilobed decorative knop at each corner and a smaller, single lobe in the centre of each side - one pair therefore fall at the terminals of the pin bar and the other pair are in the line of the pin itself. On the front face the frame is moulded with a lys in each of the corner extensions, a foliate design in each of the central extensions and a pattern of dots within a curled border around the rest of the frame. The back face is plain and undecorated, although there are places on the buckle, especially at the pin bar on the front face and around the edges on the back face, where this is some indication that it was originally silvered or gilt. The buckle is bent upwards at both ends.Length 37.3mm, width 30.2mm, thickness 1.7mm, weight 7.04g Ref: See part eight of Marshall's "Buckles Through the Ages", buckles type IIIA, especially buckles 14 and 20.
