Description: | An incomplete post-Medieval double-looped buckle (c. 1550-c. 1650). The buckle is convex at the front and largely flat at the rear. It is symmetrical in plan and each loop is oval. The loops have lobed outside edges and on the front each has three parallel grooves, possibly intended to resemble shells. On the underside of each lobe there is a small depression, possibly relating to the casting process. The bar is narrowed and sub-rectangular in cross-section. At one end of the bar there is a small knop. The knop at the opposite end is missing due to a break. At one end of the bar there is a deposit of corroded iron, probably the remains of an iron pin. There is also a small deposit of iron staining on one of the outside edges. Viewing the buckle from the side, the loops are angled upwards from the centre at about 5° from the horizontal. The pin is missing. This buckle has traces of tin on the front and rear. 40.9 x 21.8 x 3.2mm. Weight: 6.64g.
