Description: | An incomplete post-Medieval cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle (c. 1660-c. 1720).The frame (22.60 x 19.01 x 5.52mm) is rectangular in plan, convex at the front and rear. In side view, it is curved downwards either side of the central spindle enabling it to fit to a curved surface. Each loop is of similar shape. The copper-ally chape (20.48 x 10.50 x 3.20mm) is sub-triangular in plan and 'waisted' along each side. It is flat at the front and rear. One end of the chape has a slot to accommodate the pin and the opposite end has a separate and incomplete copper-alloy knob. The tapering pin (11.32mm in length) is made of copper-alloy and the iron spindle is intact but corroded.One side of the chape has a maker's mark: S/C COX This buckle has a mid-green patina. Similar buckles have been dated c. 1660-c. 1720 (Whitehead 1996: 100).
