Description: | Cast copper alloy double-loop harness buckle, shield-shaped in plan and plano-convex in section, with a trefoil outer edge and recessed pin rest in the centre of the inner edge of the top of the shield. There are two protruding lugs at the back of the frame to hold the offset strap bar, now missing. The offset bar facilitated the fixing of thick straps to the buckle.Bailey (1992) illustrates a similar shield-shaped example on page 83, No.3, which is dated to the 18th century.Read (1988) illustrates a similar double-looped example on page 177, No.1204, which is dated to the 19th century.Cuddeford (2001) illustrates a group of similar harness buckles on page 35, Appendix 1, which are dated to the 19th century.
