Description: | Post Medieval cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle. The frame is formed of two oval loops with a central recessed and narrowed strap bar. One loop has broken and is now lost, leaving only short projections from the strap bar. The pin is also missing. The frame is 'D' shaped in section with a flat back and rounded front. There are circular knops at the outer corners of the frame on the loop and at the top and bottom of the strap bar. It measures 24.4mm long, 23.9 mm wide and 2.4mm thick. It weighs 3.02g.A similar buckle is illustrated in Whitehead (2003; 63) number 382 dated to 1550-1650 AD; an example found on the Mary Rose (1545) suggests a date slightly earlier (Gardiner ed. 2005, 104; ref. 81A2528).
