Description: | A cast copper-alloy post-medieval double-looped buckle frame, incomplete in as much it is missing its pin. In plan the sides of the buckle are straight and the outer edges rounded. The internal side of the outer edge is slightly concave while the external edge is rebated at its base. The upper surface is bevelled both internally and externally while the lower surface is only bevelled internally, on the outer edges and one of the sides. The central pin bar is narrowed and recessed from the upper surface of the frame. Traces of dark-orange corrosion product at its centre and on the upper surface of one of the outer edges suggest that the pin would have been made of iron. The frame has been distorted slightly as a result of old damage and it has suffered a small loss on the side, towards the outer edge. The underlying metal is largely covered by tinning. There are possible file marks on the lower surface of the outer edges. A similar buckle, though smaller, can be found illustrated in Whitehead (2003, 71; ref. 447). This record adopts the 17th-/early 18th-century date suggested for the published example.
