Description: | A copper alloy double looped buckle dating to the Post Medieval period. The frame would comprise of two 'D' shaped loops either side of a narrowed and recessed strap bar. One loop is now missing due to an old break. The frame is triangular in section, tapering to a point on the outer edge with a flat inner side. The strap bar is broadly triangular in section with a flat back and sloping sides. The pin is still present, formed of a copper alloy plate. It bends around the strap bar where it flattens and extends towards the frame, narrowing in width as it does so forming a pointed end. Around the centre of the pin a fragment of leather survives. The object measure 21.3mm in width, 22.4mm in length and 6.1mm in thickness. It weighs 3.36g.Whitehead (2003; pg 54) illustrates similar buckles which he dates to 1500-1650 AD.
