There is a decorative rosette (flower shaped knop) at the end of the loop and a foliate like projection on each side close to where the central bar would of been. The buckle is tin coated, with a green patina where the coat has worn off. A similar buckle can be seen in White head, page 71 ref No444, he dates these to the beriod 1600-1720, however as this example is incompleet it may be similar to page 66 re 407 and 410, dated 1550-1650.
