Description: | Post Medieval cast copper alloy double loop oval buckle frame, 1550-1650 AD. The frame consists of two oval loops with outer edges which widen in the centre into a projecting knop or roundel. The knops probably had moulded flower decoration, but it is difficult to make out as the buckle surface has considerable corrosion. The symmetrical buckle frame has a central strap bar which is slightly narrower and has pointed knops at either end. The buckle pin is missing. The entire buckle frame has a D shaped section with a flat back. There are traces of black laquer. The buckle measures 30.0mm long, 49.6mm wide and 3.2mm thick; it weighs 11.02 grams. Whitehead (2003) illustrates a similar buckle (p. 66, No. 407) which he dates to c.1550-1650.
