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 oval projections with moulded flowers on the front. The symmetrical buckle frame has a central strap bar which is narrowed and has pointed knops at either end. The iron pin remains around the strap bar but is badly corroded. It has also been folded inwards slightly as have the loops. There is extensive black laquer coating on the fronts and backs. The entire buckle frame has a S shaped section with a flat back. The buckle measures 25.5mm long, 40.5mm wide and 3.3mm thick; it weighs 8.93 grams. Whitehead (2003) illustrates a similar buckle (p. 66, No. 407) which he dates to c.1550-1650.
