Description: | An incomplete post-Medieval cast copper-alloy double looped buckle (1550-1650).The tip of the pin is missing.This buckle frame is convex at the front and flat at the rear. Each elongated oval loop is similar in size and shape and each loop has a lozenge shaped knop at its outer edge. One knop is plain and the other has a central transverse incised line forming a pin rest. On the rear face the inner edges of the loops are bevelled. The narrowed bar is triangular in cross-section, flat at the rear. The wrapped around pin is 'D'-shaped in cross-section, flat at the rear and measures 16.75mm in length and has a width of 4.32mm at the loop. The tip of the pin is missing.The frame and the pin are corroded and the metal of both have a similar appearance. They have a patchy shiny dark greenish brown patina. The rear surface of the frame is coarse and pitted.Length: 52.68mm; width: 22.48mm; thickness: 3.35mm. Weight: 9.09g.A similar buckle has been published and dated c. 1550-1650 (Whitehead 1996: 63, ref: 372). Similar buckles have been recorded on The Portable Antiquities Scheme database. For example, see finds: BH-A240D7; PUBLIC-D5F521; SUSS-DF32A6 and WAW-AFB596.
