Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy double-looped buckle of Post-Medieval date (c. AD 1620 - c. AD 1680). Length: 36.2mm; width; 22.8mm; thickness; 2.6mm; weight: 6.24g. The pin is missing.The frame is symmetrical in plan and is flat at the front and rear. Each loop is trapezoidal in shape with a bevelling on the outside. It is slightly twisted through its length. The outside edges have lobed knops at each end. The narrowed bar is also bevelled at each side and has a lobed knop at each end. There is a transverse incised line running down the centre of both outer edges and these are cut at right angles by a short incised pin notches at the centre. The frame has a mid-green patina with traces of tinning at the front and rear.This frame is very similar to one illustrated in Whitehead 1996: 84, ref: 524. Whitehead suggests a date of c. 1620-1680.
