Description: | A Post-Medieval cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle complete with pin (1620-1680). This buckle is moulded at the front and flat at the rear. The frame is complete and is broadly trapezoidal while each loop is pentagonal in plan. At each outer edge there is a large open lozenge-shaped knop and at each corner of the frame there is a smaller lobed knop. The strap bar is narrowed and has a small lobed knop at each end. The front of the frame is covered with small decorative pellets. The buckle frame, bar and pin all have a green patina with substantial traces of gilding.The buckle measures 49.66 x 29.12 x 2.5mm and weighs 6.9g. The pin measures 21.61mm in length, is D-shaped in cross-section (being flat to the reverse) and curls around the strap bar.A similar buckle has been published and dated c. 1620-1680 (Whitehead 1996: 85, red: 532).Similar buckles have been recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database. For example, see finds: IOW-05E265 and HESH-AC6911.
