Description: | Post Medieval cast copper-alloy double loop buckle frame. The frame is oval in shaped with two D shaped loops seperated by a narrowed strap bar. There is a pointed knop projetcing from the centre of the outer edge of each loop and diagonal incised lines on the edge extend this knop into a lozenge shape; on one side the lozenge is bisected by an incised transverse pin rest. The loops are triangular in section with a flat back and inner side and angled outer side. There is the loop of a copper alloy sheet pin loosely wrapped 270 degrees around the plain strap bar, the majority of the pin is lost to a worn break. The buckle is grey-green sugegsting either a thick tin coating or high tin content. The frame is 47.9mm long, 20.7mm wide and 2.9mm thick. It weighs 4.58 grams. Whitehead (2003) illustrates a similar buckle (page 62, no.373) although in that case the projecting knops are more rounded, which he dates to c.1550-1650 AD.
