Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy double loop oval buckle with moulded decoration, probably dating to between c. AD 1550-1650. The buckle frame has moulded and raised lozenge-shaped decorations positioned in the centre of the outer edge of the loops as well as positioned at each end of the narrowed strap bar. The underside of the buckle frame is flat, with bevelled edges to the loops and on the underside of the lozenge-shaped decorations. Although the pin is missing, the narrowed strap bar bears a large amount of iron corrosion, suggesting that the pin was composed of iron. The frame measures 67.3 mm long, 36.9 mm wide (at strap bar), 4.3 mm thick and weighs 18 grams. Exact parallels are not illustrated in Whitehead (2003), however, there is a combination of elements between Ibid, p. 65, no. 402 and Ibid, p. 69, no. 433, both dated to AD 1550-1650.
