Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy double looped sub-oval buckle frame. At the apex of the loops there is a moulded rose as decoration. The strap bar is narrowed and triangular in section. The terminal of the strap bar has moulded decoration in the form of a sub-lozenge. The reverse of the frame is flat and undecorated. In profile the frame has been bent with one loop curling upwards, this is probably not intentional. The pin is missing. The surface of the frame has a mid grey/green patina. The buckle measures 29.14mm long from the apex of one loop to the fold of the other and 31.21mm wide. It weighs 8.5g.Similar examples are illustrated in Whitehead (Whitehead, R. 1996 Buckles 1250-1800 Greenlight Publishing), Nos. 372 and 407 which are dated to the mid 16th to mid 17th century. Egan (Egan, G. 2005 Material Culture in London in an Age of Transition MoLAS Monograph 19) illustrates a similar buckle, No. 88 and dates this to the 17th century.
