Description: | A complete cast copper alloy double looped sub-oval buckle. The buckle frame, in plan, is a pointed oval, with the apex of the loops forming a triangle on the exterior edge, and a convex edge on the interior. The strap bar is narrowed and trapezoidal in section. The terminal of the strap bar has moulded decoration in the form of a sub-lozenge. The reverse of the frame is concave at the apex and undecorated. The pin is an elongated triangle which is curled around the pin. The surface of the frame is heavily abraded and has traces of a shiny dark green patina. The buckle measures 41.73mm long and 26.39mm wide across the complete loops. It weighs 5.9g.A similar example is illustrated in Whitehead (Whitehead, R. 1996 Buckles 1250-1800 Greenlight Publishing), Nos. 365 which is dated to the mid 16th to mid 17th century.
