Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy double-loop oval buckle frame, missing one of its loops, with a slightly concave base and a convex profile. One of the loops of the frame has been sheared off at the edge of the mouldings on either side of the strap bar. The strap bar is narrowed and triangular in section with a lobed knop at either end, and the pin is missing. There is a moulded acorn knop, with two incised grooves defining the point and raised circular pellets representing the shell, on the outer edge of the extant loop. What is left of the frame is 36 mm in length and 37.5 mm in width and 3 mm in thickness. The strap bar is 20 mm in length, 2.7 mm in width and 2.5 mm in thickness. The frame weighs 7.41g. Some dark green patina remains on the upper surface of the frame, but the back is corroded.Whitehead (1996) illustrates a similar example on p.66, No.406, which is dated from c.1550-1650.
