Description: | A cast copper-alloy post-medieval double-looped buckle, incomplete in as much as it is missing its pin. The frame is formed of a pair of oval loops with moulded floral decoration on their edges. There is also a trilobed moulding at each end of the pin bar. This latter is square in cross-section. It bears traces of iron corrosion product towards the base, echoed by traces on one of the outer edges, suggesting the pin's composition and final orientation. The lower surface of this buckle is flat, other than internal bevelling on the loops. The upper surface is bevelled gradually externally. This artefact has corroded to a dull red-brown colour with areas of lighter corrosion product. Viewed in profile one can see that one of the loops has been bent upwards as a consequence of old damage. Similar buckles can be found illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 65), dated to the 16th/17th centuries AD.
