Description: | A corroded and incomplete cast copper-alloy post-medieval double-looped buckle frame, with copper-alloy pin intact. The frame was formed of a pair of oval loops with moulded floral decoration on its upper surface. One of the loops has broken close to the pin bar. There is a trifoliate or floral moulding at each end of the pin bar. This pin bar is oval in cross-section; the pin is 24.75mm in length. The extant loop has a central rosette in relief on the outer edge, surrounded by raised floral pellets and foliate detail on the remainder of the frame. The lower surface of this buckle is flat while the upper surface is bevelled very shallowly externally. This artefact has corroded to a mid-green colour, with areas of underlying red/brown visible on the pin. The buckle has been twisted in profile. Similar buckles can be found illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 66-67), dated to the 16th/17th centuries AD.
