Description: | Cast copper alloy double looped buckle of probable later medieval - post medieval date (1350-1650). The buckle frame is sub-oval (figure of eight) with a slight central bar to which a pin would have been attached. The pin is missing. There is no evidence of recessed pin rests or decoration on the frame, the edges are faceted and have heavy file marks on them. The buckle measures 23mm long, 17.5mm wide, is 3.3mm thick and weighs 3.51 grams. The buckle is a brown green colour with an abraded patina which covers all surfaces. Movement in the ploughsoil has resulted in the buckle becoming asymmetrical, and slightly bowed in profile. Similar examples to this buckle can be seen in Ross Whitehead's book 'Buckles 1250 - 1800', pages 52-53, and a close comparison can be seen in examples 295-297 dated by Whitehead to the period 1350-1650.
