Description: | A slightly corroded, incomplete cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle frame of post-medieval date. The frame is formed of a pair of ovals which incurve towards the pin bar. The upper surface of the artefact is bevelled; the lower surface mirrors this with its shallow internal bevelling. Viewed in profile one can see that one loop has been bent upwards at an angle of around 30 degrees. The bar has a trapezoidal cross-section; the pin itself is missing. The upper surface is possibly decorated with a moulded vine scroll ornament cast within a sunken field. There is a design of perhaps a floral type at the centre of each outer edge. Similar buckles can be found illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 68) where they are dated to the period 1550-1650 AD. The object has a dark red-brown colour with some iron staining and small patches of corroded green metal showing through in places.
