Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy double-looped buckle of post-Medieval date (c. 1550-1650).One loop and the bar are intact and the other loop is missing due to two old breaks on the frame next to the bar. The pin is also missing. The front is convex and the rear is largely concave. The opening within the frame is almost circular and has a maximum diameter of 15.0mm. At the centre of the outside edge there is a moulded rosette with a small knop protruding outwards. At each corner of the outside edge there is also a similar knop but without a rosette. The bar is narrowed and 'D'-shaped in cross-section, flat at the rear. At the front, each end of the bar terminates with moulded rosette similar to the one situated at the outside edge.The object is generally corroded and does not have a patina. It is mainly covered with superficial light green copper alloy corrosion products.33.1 x 32.2 x 4.6mm. Weight: 9.19g.A similar complete buckle frame is illustrated by Whitehead and dated c. 1550-1650 (Whitehead 1996, 67, ref: 415).
