Description: | A double looped trapezoidal framed buckle made from cast copper alloy. The buckle has a narrowed end with ovoid knops at the corners of the frame. The wider end has extended arms or wings terminating in large lobed knops, the feature for which this type of buckle is named a 'butterfly buckle'. Ross Whitehead dates these buckles to the 17th Century, and illustrates a similar example (Buckles 1250-1800, p.84).The buckle pin is missing, but the object is otherwise in good condition.
