Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy post-medieval double-looped buckle, missing one of its loops and its pin. The frame was formed of a pair of oval loops with moulded floral decoration on their edges; one loop has been all but lost further to old breaks at the pin bar. There is a trilobed moulding at each end of the pin bar. This latter is trapezoidal in cross-section. It bears traces of iron corrosion product on one side near the centre, suggesting the pin's composition. The lower surface of this buckle is flat, other than internal bevelling on the loops and a continuation as a recess into the extant floral moulding. The upper surface is bevelled gradually externally. This artefact has a fairly even mid-grey/green patina. Viewed in profile one can see that the floral moulding has been bent upwards slightly, again as a consequence of old damage. Similar buckles can be found illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 65), dated to the 16th/17th centuries AD.
