Description: | Post Medieval cast copper alloy double loop buckle frame with seperate iron spindle, copper alloy pin and chape. The outer frame is rectangular with round corners. The outer edges widen towards the centre with with an inward curve and have 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. It is thickened and slightly widened 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. On the spindle is the seperate copper alloy pin with a cylindrical base to go over the spindle and long triangular point which is D-shaped ins ection with a flat back. The copper alloy chape was threaded onto the strap bar by the two cylinders at the base which flank the pin. From this it projects out widening slightly then broadly triangular with both sides curving in to the narrow rounded terminal. The terminal has a central hole suggesting it had a seperate mushroom headed stud to attach it to the strap. There is a makers mark with raised letters in a recessed S//[...]OO[...] on the front of the chape near the spindle. The frame is 36.2mm long, 42.3mm with the chape, 26.3mm wide, 5.3mm thick and weighs 10.92 grams.Whitehead (2003: 99 and 103) illustrates similar examples, no.625 with similar raised leaf decoration and no.662 which is a similar sub rectamgular form, both of which he dates to c.1660-1720 AD.
