Description: | A worn and corroded, slightly bent cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle of Post Medieval date (c. AD 1500-1650). This item is incomplete as the pin is absent. The buckle is formed of a hemispherical in section buckle frame and an integral pin bar, with the apertures of the frame appearing oval in plan. The pin bar projects beyond the frame to form two moulded sub-triangular knops. The interior of the frame is steeply bevelled at the shorter ends of the oval, whilst the remainder of the frame is gently sloped; the underside is flat. In the centre of the exterior edge of the frame is a single triangular notch for the now absent pin, and brown red corrosion traces on the central pin bar suggest this might have been made of iron. The buckle frame has substantial traces of a black lacquer over its entire surface, and can be paralleled by Whitehead (2003: 54, no. 303).
