Description: | Unusually wide post medieval cast copper alloy double loop asymmetrical buckle frame with one D-shaped and one trapezoid loop. The D-shaped loop curves out at the centre of the outer edge to create a projecting point in the shape of an ogee arch. The loops are trapezoid in section with bevelled sides and a flat back although the outer edge of the trapezoid loop is worn to an oval shape. The sises of the D-shaped loop are slightly wider. The strap bar is missing with old breaks at either end; there are pairs of lobed knops on the outer side opposite the breaks. The surface has a silvery appearance in places and appears tinned or possibly made of an alloy such as tombac. It is 47.5mm long, 70.6mm wide and 3.0mm thick; it weighs 20.03 grams.Whitehead (2003:90) illustrates a very similar example, no.559, which he dates to c.1575-1700 AD.
