Description: | Post Medieval cast copper alloy double loop buckle frame with seperate iron spindle. The outer frame is copper alloy and a continuous loop with round ends and concave top and bottom sides. The ends have a projecting lip at the back and are decorated with a raised central section with tapers in width towards the outer ends. The raised sections have an indented central line as a pin rest flanked by multiple punched diagonals giving a leaf patten. They are flanked by punched double concentric rings then pairs of lines. In the centre of the top and bottom edges are three raised transverse collars flanked by wider raised sections. There are further groups of three punched lines on these raised sections. It is thickened in the centre of the top and bottom sides with a transverse hole drilled through the thickened area. There is the rusted remains of the seperate iron spindle running through the transverse holes in the top and bottom edges. The extent of iron corrosion, completely covering one side of the frame, may suggest the seperate pin and / or chape, which attached it to the strap, were also of iron.It is 36.9mm long, 22.6mm wide, 3.6mm thick and weighs 9.13 grams.Whitehead (2003: 99) illustrates a very similar example, no.625, with variation in the punched decoration which he dates to c.1660-1720 AD.
