Description: | A cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle frame of post-medieval date, incomplete in so far as its pin is missing. There are lobed knops at two symmetrical points on each oval loop, and at either end of the pin bar. Those at the ends of the pin bar are more pointed and the others more rounded. The frame is internally and externally bevelled on the upper surface. Seemingly flat on its uppermost and lower surfaces it would appear to be trapezoidal in cross-section with rounded corners. The buckle frame is now worn with a variable mid-grey/green patina and possible traces of a black coating. A similar example is illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 63; ref. 382) which is dated from 1550 to 1650 AD; this example is of a similar date. One of the outer edges has been bent upwards as a result of old damage.
