Description: | A small cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle of post-medieval date. It is formed of a pair of oval loops which are externally bevelled on the upper surface, bevelling echoed on the lower surface internally. The loops are not quite symmetrical. At both ends of the pin bar is a small lobed protrusion; this is far less pronounced at one end. The pin bar has a triangular cross-section; the pin is missing. The metal has corroded to a mid-green colour with areas of lighter corrosion product. Although similar buckles with moulded protrusions have been found in medieval contexts, they are far more commonly found in later ones. On this example one of the loops has been bent upwards very slightly in profile.
