Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy asymmetrical double looped buckle of Post-Medieval date (c. AD 1575 - c. AD 1700). Length: 17.8mm; width: 12.5mm and 4.5mm thick. Weight: 1.13g. The pin is largely missing. In plan, one loop is sub-rectangular in plan and the other loop is D-shaped. The front of the frame, including the bar, is convex and the rear face is flat. At the outside edge of the 'D'-shaped loop there is a tri-lobed decorative knop. The bar is D-shaped in cross-section, flat at the rear. The pin survives as a mass of corroded iron which is set to one side of the 'D'-shaped loop. The frame is in fair condition and has a mid-green patina which is partially covered with iron corrosion products. The iron pin is severely corroded and in poor condition.Similar illustrated buckles have been dated c. 1575-1700 (Whitehead 1996, 90-91).
