Description: | A cast lead alloy double loop buckle, probably seventeenth century in date. The rectangular frame has pointed outside edges and an external semi-circular knop at each end of the narrowed central bar. The pin is wrapped around the bar and tapers towards its end. There is a slight linear groove in both the centres of the side knops and in the pointed outer edges. The back is flat and undecorated. A similar buckle from Newton Abbot in Devon can be seen in Read's 'History Beneath our Feet' (1995, p. 144, no. 929), although the Newton Abbot example is slightly larger and does not have any grooved decoration. Read dates it to c. 1600-50.
