Description: | A cast copper double looped oval shaped buckle. The loops are decorated on the exterior edge with an integral knop at the apex of each loop which appears to be scalloped and decorated with radiating grooves. There is also similar decoration at each terminal of the strap bar. The strap bar is slightly narrowed, and is trapezoidal in section. The reverse is undecorated and is hollow beneath the knops. The pin is missing. The buckle loops have a yellow/green matte surface, and it is heavily abraded. The buckle measures 58.76mm long and 34.88mm wide. It weighs 7.4g.Whitehead (1996 Buckles 1250-1800 Greenlight Publishing) illustrates a similar shaped buckle, No. 371 which is dated to the mid 16th to mid 17th centuries.
