Description: | A bent 17th-century cast copper-alloy post-medieval double-looped buckle formed of two trapezoidal loops. Each loop has a rounded triangular outer edge with central transverse pin groove, and rounded knops at their corners. The frame is flat both surfaces with steep internal and external bevelling between the faces. The sides bend inwards. There is a lobed knop at each end of the pin bar. This latter is trapezoidal in cross-section. A thick wire pin that tapers to a rounded tip is looped in situ around it. It is of a different alloy, now a red/brown metal, to the frame which is dark-grey in colour. One of the loops has been bent upwards at an angle of about thirty degrees, either as a result of use or old damage. A similar buckle can be found illustrated in Whitehead (2003, 84; ref. 524).
