Description: | Post Medieval incomplete copper alloy double looped buckle frame. The frame had two oval loops, one of which is mostly missing to old breaks. The loops had angled outer sides, with a lobed knop at either end of the strap bar. The buckle has a cast copper alloy circular sectioned pin flattened at one end to loop over the strap bar. The front of the buckle is decorated with a raised inner plain line border and moulded decoration in a style called 'vine-scroll'. The buckle is 22.8mm long, 28.2mm wide, 3.55mm thick and weighs 4.02g.A similar example is illustrated in Whitehead (2003:68), No. 423, which he dates to AD 1550-1650. SUSS-6ADB33 is a more complete example on this database. The similarity of these buckles, in particular the tri-lobed buckle plate, to contemporary sword belt hangers (Cf. Read (2001), fig.26, no.373) suggests they are part of a suite of items for a sword belt.
