Description: | A slightly corroded, incomplete cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle of post-medieval date. The buckle is trapezoidal in shape with lobed protrusions at either end of the pin bar. The surviving outer edge is pointed. The outside edge of the buckle is bevelled while the lower surface is flat. The pin is extant, looped in situ around the pin bar; this latter has been bent downwards as a result of old damage. The tapering pin is of thick sheet construction with bevelled sides and a flat lower surface. The buckle dates from around 1620 to 1680 AD. It can be compared with an example illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 82; ref. 514). The artefact is a largely light-grey colour, as result of tinning, with patches of off-white and light-green corrosion product.
