Description: | A complete but damaged cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle of post-medieval date. The frame is formed of two conjoined ovals such that the sides incurve towards the pin bar. The frame is bevelled both internally and externally, the former more steeply; the lower surface is flat. The cross-section of both the frame and pin bar is triangular. A pointed knop protrudes at each end of the pin bar. A corroded copper-alloy pin survives looped round the pin bar. It has been bent downwards at its tip. One of the loops has been bent up, then down at the outer edge as a result of old damage. The object now has a dull grey/brown colour with small patches of off-white corrosion product. A similar 17th-century buckle can be found illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 54; ref. 309).
