Description: | Post medieval buckle; cast copper alloy double-looped buckle with trapezoidal loops dating from the late 16th or early 17th century. This buckle has a fairly plain buckle frame and the pin is still present. The shorter edges of the frame are ornamented with a single knop at each corner and a shallow curved extension in the centre to receive the pin. There is also a small knop at either end of the pin bar. The only decoration seems to be a moulded incised line along each short edge of the frame. The back face is plain and undecorated. The buckle is roughly cast with the edges seemingly unfinished from the casting process. The frame is bent upwards at both ends.Length 33.7mm, width 23.8mm, thickness 1.9mm, weight 5.87gRef: See part eight of Marshall's "Buckles Through the Ages", buckles type IIID, especially buckles 56 and 57.
