Description: | An incomplete post-Medieval cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle (c. 1550-c. 1650). One loop, most of the bar and the pin are missing. It would probably have been symmetrical in plan prior to being broken. The surviving frame is convex at the front, flat at the rear. The narrowed bar is roughly square in cross-section and only a small portion exists. At the centre of the outside edge there is moulded tri-lobed knop, possibly intended to resemble a scallop shell. A similar but smaller knop is situated at one end of the bar. The knop at the opposite end of the bar is missing. This buckle is generally corroded and has traces of a shiny dark green patina. There are also traces of a white metal coating on both faces. The breaks appear to be old. 30.9 x 28.7 x 1.9mm. Weight: 3.87g. A similar example of this buckle has been published and it has been suggested that these buckles date from the post-Medieval period (c. 1550 -c. 1650) and are used with personal dress (Whitehead 1996: 65, ref: 398).
