Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy double looped buckle of Post-Medieval date (c. AD 1550 - c. AD 1650). Length 41.7mm: width: 30.0mm and maximum thickness: 3.2mm. Weight: 8.29g.The pin is missing.The frame is convex at the front and flat at the rear and has two almost identical oval loops. The bar is narrow and sub-triangular in cross-section (flat at the rear) and one end extends beyond the frame to form a small knop. Each outside edge of the frame expands to accommodate a moulded rosette motif. As viewed from the side, each loop projects upwards slightly from the bar. The piece is corroded in places but is mainly coated with a mid-green patina. A similar buckle frame has been published by Ross Whitehead, (Whithead 1996, 66, ref. 410). This published buckle frame is dated c. 1550 - c. 1650.
