Description: | A cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle of post-medieval date. The loops are D-shaped and are bevelled externally on the upper surface; this is mirrored by internal bevelling on the lower surface. There are file marks on the outer edges on the upper surface. At both ends of the pin bar is a moulded knopped protrusion. The tapering pin is of thick sheet construction and tapers to a point. In profile both of the loops have been bent upwards on one side. The artefact has developed a dark green patina with areas of pitting from corrosion, especially on the lower surface. Being of a different alloy the pin is now a dark red-brown colour. Although such buckles with moulded protrusions have been found in medieval contexts, they are far more commonly found in later ones.
