Description: | A cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle frame of post-medieval date, incomplete in so far as its pin is missing. There are lobed knops at two symmetrical points on each oval loop, and at either end of the pin bar. Those at the ends of the pin bar are more pointed and the others more rounded. The frame is internally and externally bevelled on the upper surface. Seemingly flat on its uppermost and lower surfaces it would appear to be trapezoidal in cross-section with rounded corners. The buckle frame has a variable mid-grey colour with patches of light-green corrosion product. A similar example is illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 63; ref. 382) which is dated from 1550 to 1650 AD; an example found on the Mary Rose (1545) suggests a date slightly earlier (Gardiner ed. 2005, 104; ref. 81A2528). This buckle has been twisted in profile as a result of old damage.
