Description: | A cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle of post-medieval date, incomplete in so far as it is missing its pin. The frame is formed of two conjoined ovals which incurve towards the pin bar. The loops are decorated with prominent mouldings. Central trapezoidal mouldings have central triangular recesses that would have acted as pin rests. Each is flanked by double transverse ridges, with a further pair of ridges in each corner. The frame is bevelled both externally on the upper surface, bevelling echoed externally on the lower. The pin bar is trapezoidal in cross-section. Orange/brown corrosion product at its centre and around the centre of one of the outer edges is evidence that the pin was made of iron. The frame has a dark-grey/green patina, covered by light corrosion product on the lower surface in particular. Both loops are bent upwards at their outer edges, possibly following old damage, but mostly through use. A similar buckle, though with different mouldings, can be found illustrated in Whitehead (2003, 61; ref. 358).
