Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy double-looped buckle of post-Medieval date (c. 1550-c. 1650).The pin is missing.The frame is convex at the front and flat at the rear and has two identical oval loops. The bar is slightly narrowed, sub-triangular in cross-section (flat at the rear) and extends beyond the frame at each side to form small knops. Mid-way along the length of the bar there is a deposit of iron corrosion. This corrosion indicates that the missing pin was probably made of iron. At each outside edge of the frame there is a moulded rosette motif. There is no evidence on the outside edges for a pin rest. The piece is corroded in places but is coated with a dark-green patina.43.4 x 24.8 x 2.8mm. Weight: 8.35g.A similar buckle frame has been published by Ross Whitehead, (Whitehead 1996: 66, ref: 410). This published buckle frame is dated c. 1550 - c. 1650.
