Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy asymmetrical double-looped buckle of post-Medieval date (c. 1575-c. 1700). This asymmetrical buckle frame is convex at the front and flat at the rear. In plan, one loop is trapezoidal and the other would have probably been 'D'-shaped with its straight edge formed by the bar, but is now missing. The upper face of the outside edge of the trapezoidal loop is moulded into 6 lobes to form decoration. The bar is triangular in cross-section, flat at the rear and at each end it has a small projection. The pin and plate are missing. The frame has traces of tinning on both faces. The buckle is 19.6mm long, 18mm wide and 2.4mm thick. It weighs 1.59g. Similar buckles have been dated c. 1575-c. 1700 (Whitehead 1996: 92, refs: 574 and 577).
