Description: | Post Medieval cast copper alloy double loop buckle frame. The frame has two oval loops which have bevelled backs and bevelled and slightly widened outer edges with a transverse incised groove for a pin rest in the centre. The strap bar is narrowed and recessed with lobed knops at either end. A copper alloy sheet pin is wrapped 270 degrees around the strap bar and narrows constantly from the strap bar to the tip, the very end of which has been cut obliquely. The buckle is a pale-mid green shade while the pin is mid brown-red suggesting it is made of a alloy with a different composiiton. It is 22.9mm long, 17.6mm wide, 2.8mm thick and weighs 2.88 grams. Whitehead (2003) illustrates a similar buckle (page 54, No.307) which lacks the grooves on the loops) which he dates to c.1500-1650 AD.
