Description: | Cast copper alloy double-loop buckle with an openwork frame that is vesica shaped in plan and D-shaped in section with straight inner edges, creating two kidney-bean shaped loops within the frame. The strap bar divides these loops and is narrowed and flush with the frame. Around the inner edge of the frame there is a rouletted recessed border. At oblique angles to the border there are moulded transverse lines, which extend to the outer edge of the frame, and define foliate ovoids between them, making the surface appear like a vine. There are four circular apertures, two at either end of the buckle, within the cusped outer edges, and two at either end of the strap bar, within slight semi-circular protrusions.Whitehead (1996) illustrates a similar buckle on page 69, No.434, which is dated from c.1550-1660.
