Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy double looped buckle of probable Post-Medieval date (c. AD 1500 - c. AD 1650). Length: 25.0mm; width: 23.9mm and 3.2mm thick. Weight: 3.01g.One loop is almost completely missing due to two old breaks. The upper face of the frame is convex and the rear face is flat. The surviving loop is sub-circular in plan. In plan the outside edge is slightly pointed. The bar is D-shaped in cross-section, convex at the front and flat at the rear. The copper alloy pin has a length of 21.7mm and a maximum width along its shaft of 3.0mm. The pin loop fully encloses the bar and the shaft tapers slightly to a blunt rounded point.A patch mid-green patina survives on the frame and the pin.Double looped buckles with slightly pointed outside edges are illustrated in Whitehead and dated c. 1500-1650 (Whitehead 1996, 55-56).
