Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle of medieval to early post-medieval date. The frame is formed of two conjoined ovals such that the sides incurve. The frame is bevelled both internally and externally, the former more steeply; the lower surface is flat. There are three transverse/diagonal incisions on each outer edge. One loop has been slightly bent upwards in profile. The pin is missing; orange-brown corrosion product from the pin at the end of the pin bar suggests that it was made of iron. The majority of the artefact has a variable mid-green colour with some patches of off-white corrosion product. There are possible traces of a dark-brown coating on one of the outer edges. A similar buckle can be found illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 53; ref. 290). The decoration and surface treatment suggests a probable post-medieval date.
