Description: | Post Medieval copper-alloy double-loop buckle frame. The loops are D shaped in plan and trapezoidal in section with angled sides and wider back. From the centre of the outer edges of each loop projects a tri-lobed extension. The extension is stamped with an annulet in the centre with eight grooves projecting away from it, two grooves in each direction. There are smaller rounded knops projecting at each corner of the frame. The narrow strap bar is tringular in section and recessed from the frame with a lobed knop at each end. The pin is missing but there is a lump of iron corrosion on the strap bar, probably the remains of an iron pin. There are traces of a black lacquer coating on the front and back. It is 48.9mm long, 38.9mm wide and 11.5mm thick including the pin remains (2.9mm excluding), it weighs 9.45 grams.Whitehead (2003: 66) illustrates a similar buckle No. 409 although with different stamped decoration. He dates it to c.1550-1650 AD.
