Description: | A cast copper double looped pointed oval shaped buckle. The loops are decorated on the outer edge with fine notches. In profile the buckle forms a wide 'V' shape. The pin is missing. The buckle frame is heavily abraded and has red copper corrosion. There are patches of patina which has a shiny black coating. The buckle measures 20.64mm long and 13.76mm wide. It weighs 1.3g. Whitehead (Whitehead, R. 1996 Buckles 1250-1800 Greenlight Publishing) illustrates a similar buckle, No. 325 which is decorated dates it to the 16th to mid 17th century. The surface condition of the recorded example does suggest a Post Medieval date is likely.
