Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy double looped buckle of post-Medieval date (c. 1620-c.1680).The pin and one loop are missing. The undecorated frame is flat on both faces and the edges are bevelled on the inside and outside. It has a triangular-shaped outside edge and the inside of the loop is trapezoidal but almost square. At each end of the narrowed bar there is a small rounded knop. The slightly narrowed bar is 'D'-shaped in cross-section, flat on the underside. At the centre of the bar there is a small deposit of iron staining.This buckle has traces of a mid-green patina. Where there is no patina, the surface colour of the metal is brown. The breaks are old.23.6 x 21.2 x 2.4mm. Weight: 3.65g.Buckles of similar shape are published in Whitehead 1996: 82, refs: 512 -513 and dated by Whitehead to c.1620-1680.
