Description: | A complete post-Medieval cast copper-alloy double looped buckle (1550-1650).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. On the front face the inner edges of the loops are bevelled. The narrowed bar is triangular in cross-section, flat at the rear and has a small knop at each end. The pin,wrapped around the bar, is 'D'-shaped in cross-section, flat at the rear and the upper edges are bevelled. It measures 19.05mm in length and has a width of 3.54mm at the loop. 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 obscured by corrosion products in places. The rear surface of the frame is coarse and pitted.Length: 46.60mm; width: 18.55mm; thickness: 2.02mm. Weight: 4.12g.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; IOW-FCA412; PUBLIC-D5F521; SUSS-DF32A6 and WAW-AFB596.
