Description: | A broken cast copper-alloy post-medieval sub-rectangular double-looped buckle (c. 17th century AD). Each loop is trapezoidal, with lobes at the corners. Central on the outer edges is a triangular protrusion, each with a transversely incised pin rest on the upper surface. At the loop side of the outer edge there is a incised longitudinal line on the upper surface. There are rounded knops at either end of the pin bar, which remains intact along with the pin. The buckle is broken and survives in two pieces, one the loop beyond the pin bar (L.: 14.3mm). The buckle is tinned over a corroded red-brown metal with traces of green corrosion product. A parallel can be found illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 84; ref. 524) which is dated to the 17th century.
