Description: | Post medieval cast copper alloy double loop buckle frame with pin. The frame has two oval loops with slightly widened outer edges. The front and back are bevelled and the front is decorated with a raised rim around the inner side of the loop and raised diagonal patterns that might be rough leaves (the pattern is discribed by Whitehead (see below) as vine scroll). The strap bar is narrowed and recessed with lobed knops at either end, also decorated with raised vertical lines. The pin is made of copper alloy sheet, wrapped 360 degrees around the strap bar and with the tip narrowing and thinning to a point. It is 36.3mm long, 27.3mm wide, 3.4mm thick and weighs 6.52 grams. Whitehead (2003) illustrates a similar buckle (page 68, No.423) which he dates to c.1550-1650 AD.
