Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy double-loop buckle of probable 16th century date. A similar buckle was found on Henry VIII's warship, the Mary Rose, which sank in AD 1545 (Gardiner ed., 2005, p. 104, ref. 82A5069).Just over half survives of what would originally have been a symmetrical buckle. The surviving half is D-shaped in plan. The sides, of roughly trazpezoidal section, expand into a moulded flower head at the centre of the outer side. The central axis bar is of sub-triangular section and has a moulded projection at each end. At the centre of the axis bar is attached iron corrosion from the now-missing pin. The upper surface of the buckle appears to have a black coating.The buckle measures 23mm long, 29.1mm wide and 2.7mm thick. The weight is 5g.
