Description: | An incomplete post-Medieval cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle (c. 1620-c. 1680).The pin and one loop are missing.This frame, when complete, would have been symmetrical in plan and the surviving frame is sub-trapezoidal in plan, moulded at the front and flat at the rear. It is bevelled internally and externally and there is a lobe at each corner. The outer edge would have been pointed but is now incomplete due to a break. The abraded bar, now sub-rectangular in cross-section, has a minor knop at each end. On the upper face of the outer edge there are a transverse pin-notch and a decorative groove spanning the width of the frame.The frame is dull green and has been treated with oil.Length: 18.83mm; width: 22.46mm; thickness: 2.31mm. Weight: 2.19g.This frame is very similar to one illustrated in Whitehead 1996: 84, ref: 523. Whitehead suggests a date for this type of buckle of c. 1620-c. 1680.
