Description: | A cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle frame of Post-Medieval date. It is complete but one loop has broken away from the bar due to old breaks. The loops are D-shaped in form and triangular in section, separated from one another by a central bar that is D-shaped in section. At the sides of the frame where bar and loops meet there are projecting globular knops. Each loop has a moulded projecting terminal on its outer edge. On one loop this is semi-circular with radiating moulded lines on the front face giving the appearance of a scallop shell. On the opposing loop the terminal has a triangular plate with three circular indentations arranged in a triangle, the pointed outer edge of the triangle expanding to a semi-circular scallop shaped terminal end with moulded radiating grooves.This buckle measures 24.59mm in width, 61.47mm in length, 2.98mm in thickness, and weighs 8.67g.This buckle frame is of probable Post-Medieval date, the projecting moulded terminals on each frame of similar form to examples recorded from Norfolk (NMS-FB1513 and NMS3FCE64). These suggest a probable 16th-17th century AD date for the current example.
