Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy double-looped buckle of post-Medieval date (c. 1575-c. 1700).The buckle is slightly misshapen and the pin is missing.The buckle is asymmetrical in plan with concave sides and convex at the front. In plan, one loop is 'D'-shaped and the other is trapezoidal. The outside edge of the 'D'-shaped loop expands in plan and the outside edge of the trapezoidal loop is straight and has an outer rebate throughout its width. There is no sign of a pin rest. The central integral bar is 'D'-shaped in cross-section, flat at the rear. The underside of the frame, except that of the bar, is broadly concave.This buckle is largely corroded but it does have a patchy dark green patina. Where the patina is lost the surface colour of the metal is reddish. 39.4 x 32.3 x 2.3mm. Weight: 7.13g.Similar buckles have been dated c. 1575-1700 (Whitehead 1996, 91, refs: 571 and 572).
