Description: | A cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle frame. The loops are of different shapes, one being trapezoidal and the other D-shaped. The outer edge of the D-shaped loop has an integrally cast sub-triangular projecting plate, with openwork decoration of two circular holes next to the loop and a lozenge-shaped hole at the apex. There is a small knop just above each of the lower corners of the plate; the apex has decoration of two oblique grooves and two tiny knops. The trapezoidal loop has a grooved pin rest and another decorative oblique groove at each corner. The strap bar is narrow and trapezoidal in cross-section. The pin is missing. The surface has a well developed dark green patina. It measures 32.56mm long and 16.64mm wide. It weighs 2.7g and is in fair condition. Whitehead 1996 ('Buckles 1250-1800', Greenlight Publishing) illustrates a similar buckle, No. 593, which is dated to the late 16th to 17th century.
