Description: | A cast copper alloy double-looped buckle, with an intact strap bar and a surviving buckle plate. The buckle has two sub-oval loops. There are pointed knops on the outer edges of each loop. There are also moulded knops at each end of the strap bar. The strap bar is very narrow. The pointed knops are cut forming a pin recess. The wire pin survives. The buckle plate is simply formed from a sheet of copper alloy formed in half. A notch has been cut out of it at the strap bar end to allow the pin to sit inside and the opposite end has been riveted together.The metal retains much of its original surface and the metal is a dark greyish-green colour. This type of buckle dates from circa 1550 - 1650. Parallels for this type of buckle can be seen in Whitehead, 2003, p62-63.
