Description: | A Post Medieval double loop buckle with drilled frame for separate spindle and simple plate, c. 1660-1720. One loop is missing together with the pin. The plate is simply made from wrapping a single sheet of copper alloy around the spindle and securing it with a circular rivet at the end; a small gap at the centre of the plate edge wrapped around the spindle would have accommodated the pin, now missing. A large degree of staining at the spindle suggests that it is composed of iron and this may have compromised the frame, resulting in the loss of one loop. For similar buckles with moulded decoration, cf. Whitehead pp 98-99.The buckle measures 21.6mm long, 24.5mm wide and 4.1mm thick. The buckle plate measures 28.4mm long, 9.6mm wide and 1.4mm thick. The buckle and plate together weigh 7.23 grams.
