Description: | A broken and incomplete cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle of post-medieval date (c. 17th century AD). One of the loops has been lost at the pin bar; the pin is also missing. The surviving loop has a rounded outer edge with central internal convex pointed protrusion. There are slight spurs or knops projecting out from the sides of the frame just before each outer edge. Although the pin is missing traces of orange/brown corrosion product at the centre of the pin bar suggest that it was made of iron. The pin bar is slightly thickened and defined by longitudinally incised lines. The buckle is bevelled externally on the upper surface and is flat on the lower. It has a variable mid-green patina. A similar example can be found illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 70; ref. 441).
