Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle of post-Medieval date (c.1550-c. 1650).This buckle, when complete, probably had similar shaped sub-circular loops. However, one loop is missing due to breaks. The existing loop is bevelled around the edge of the upper surface and has a prominent lozenge-shaped knop at the centre of the outside edge. The bar is narrowed and sub-rectangular in cross-section. It has a complete copper-alloy pin, 20.6mm in length with a loop that is 4.7mm in width. This loop is 'D'-shaped in cross section, flat at the rear. The frame is also flat at the rear. This buckle frame has a white metal coating of tin or tin alloy and the pin has a mid-green patina although it is severely corroded in places. 27.7 x 19.9 x 3.0mm. Weight: 4.88g.A buckle with a similar lozenge-shaped knop at the outside edge has been dated c. 1550-c. 1650 (Whitehead 1996: 65, ref: 402).
