Description: | A slightly damaged, now incomplete cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle of post-medieval date (c. 17th century AD). The buckle is sub-rectangular in form and has rounded outer edges with central internal convex protrusions. There are slight spurs or knops projecting out from the sides of the frame just before each outer edge. The pin is missing, although traces of dark-orange/brown corrosion product at the centre of the pin bar and outer edges suggest that it was made of iron. There are two decorative angled incised lines at the end of the pin bar. The buckle is bevelled both externally and internally on the upper surface and is flat on the lower. The buckle has corroded to a dark red-brown colour, with some patches of variable green corrosion product. One of the corners has been bent downwards at one corner. A similar example can be found illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 71; ref. 442).
