Description: | Post Medieval cast copper alloy double-looped asymmetric buckle frame. The frame has one oval and one trapezoid loop. The oval loop has a projecting point in the centre of the outside edge. The frame is D-shaped in section with a flat back and bevelled sides. The strap bar has projecting knops at either end. The front of the loops and the strap bar are decorated with incised diagonal lines meeting in chevrons in the centre of each loop. A large area of iron corrosion around the strap bar is probably the remains of the iron pin. The frame measures 19.8mm long, 14.9mm wide and 1.6mm thick, excluding the iron corrosoin; it weighs 1.40 grams.Whitehead (2003) illustrates a similar buckle (page 92, no.580), although with moulded transverse ribs ratehr than incised lines as decoration, which he dates to c.1575-1700 AD.
