Description: | Tinned copper alloy double loop oval buckle with an openwork heart-shaped motif terminating in a trefoil knop on the outer edge of each loop. The strap bar is narrowed but flush with the frame, and there is a lobed knop at either end of the bar. The tinned copper alloy pin remains curled around the strap bar. The measurements below are for the frame. The pin is 24 mm long, 4 mm wide and 2 mm thick, and the strap bar is 24 mm long, 3 mm wide and 3 mm thick. The entire surface still retains its layer of tin, which is rare in Cornish soil.Whitehead (1996) illustrates a very similar buckle on page 70, No.439, which is dated from c.1550-1660.
