Description: | A worn fragment of a cast copper alloy buckle, probably dating to the Post Medieval period (c. 1550-1650 AD). The fragment comprises one of the external loops of what is likely to be a double loop oval buckle. The remains of moulded surface decoration can be seen, with barrel moulding in the centre of the loop with traces of what may have been a beaded border to either side of the central decoration. A longer rounded segment flanks the central knop at either side, followed by symmetrically-placed small lobed knops and a further raised ridge at either end. The fragment breaks off before reaching the central strap bar and is missing its pin as well as the rest of the buckle frame. It is very likely that this buckle would have looked similar to an example provided in Whitehead (2003, No. 412), which possesses a similar design and decorative elements. The fragment measures 39.4 mm long, 24.1 mm wide, 3.5 mm thick and weighs 6.24 grams.
