Description: | Post Medieval cast copper-alloy double-loop buckle frame with trapezoid loops, one of which is almost completely missing to old breaks, and an incomplete pin. The loops are rectangular in cross section and on the complete one the outer edge is extended into a point in the centre flanked by rounded knops at the corners. There is an engraved transverse line in the centre of the outside edge acting as a pin rest. There are projecting knops at the ends of the narrowed strap bar. The pin is formed of a strip of copper alloy wrapped loosely around the strap bar and narrowing gradually form the loop to the end. The pin is D-shaped in section and is flat on the back, with an old break at the end. The frame is distorted and is now 18.4mm long, 23.3mm wide and 1.9mm thick, the pin is 4.1mm wide, 1.9mm thick and 11.7mm long; it weighs 2.84g in total.Whitehead (2003: 84) illustrates a very similar frame, no.524, which he dates to c.1620-1680 AD and there are many similar examples on our database including SOM-F6B814 and SOM-03B1C5.
