Description: | A complete Post Medieval double loop oval buckle with moulded decoration, probably dating to between AD 1550-1650. The composition of the buckle frame is uncertain, either a very high tin copper-alloy or perhaps pewter; there seem to be small traces of green corrosion on the surface, suggesting a very high tin copper alloy. The pin is composed of iron. The buckle frame is decorated along the top and bottom edges with radiating incised lines which create a braided appearance and both outer edges are decorated at the centre with a raised moulded roundel. The frame curves upwards slightly, which might be due to in situ damage. The reverse is flat and undecorated. The pin is crudely constructed of iron wire and simply wrapped around the narrowed strap bar. The frame measures 42.5 mm long, 24.2 mm wide (at centre), 3.9 mm maximum thickness and weighs 10.3 grams. Although an exact parallel is not illustrated in Whitehead (2003), the buckle frame is similar in style to those illustrated in Ibid, pp. 62-63.
