Description: | A cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle of post-medieval date, incomplete in so far as it is missing its pin. It is formed of a pair of oval loops with pointed outer edges. They are have a flat uppermost surface, then are externally bevelled steeply. This bevelling is echoed on the lower surface, whose base is flat. The pin bar is narrowed and of a circular cross-section; at both ends is a small lobed protrusion. There is no evidence of a incised pin rest on either of the outer edges. Small traces of orange corrosion product around the pin bar suggest that the pin would have been made of iron, as with similar buckles recorded on this database. The metal has a dark-grey/green colour with areas of lighter corrosion product. One of the buckle's loops has been bent upwards at an angle of around thirty degrees, either as a result of damage or use.
