Description: | A corroded, bent and incomplete cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle of post-medieval date. The extant loop is D-shaped and is bevelled both internally and externally on the upper surface; the former bevelling is much steeper. The lower face is flat. The broken loop must have broken in antiquity as the breaks are both smooth and corroded. It could be that this object spent part of its life converted effectively as a single-looped buckle. At both ends of the pin bar is a moulded rounded protrusion. The tapering pin is of thick sheet construction and is a triangle in plan, tapering to a point. It is slightly curved upwards at the tip. Both surfaces of the pin have been bevelled. The metal is now a red-brown colour with areas of green corrosion product. Patches of tinning survive at various points. Although such buckles with moulded protrusions have been found in medieval contexts, they are far more commonly found in later ones.
