Description: | A bent and corroded cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle frame of post-medieval date, incomplete in so far as it is missing its pin. The frame is formed of a pair of ovals which incurve towards the pin bar. The upper surface is decorated by moulded vine scroll ornament cast within a sunken field. There are perhaps two lis facing inwards at the centre of each outer edge. Buckle with similar ornament can be found illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 68) where they are dated to the period 1550-1650 AD and also on this database HAMP-091C57. The upper surface of the artefact is bevelled; the lower surface mirrors this with its shallow internal bevelling. Viewed in profile one can see that one loop has been struck/bent upwards at its outer edge. The object has corroded to a variable mid-light green colour with patches of a possible dark coat.
