Description: | An incomplete, cast copper alloy double looped buckle frame, dating to the Post Medieval period (eventeenth century). The frame is broadly rectangular in plan with two corners of the outside edge flaring outwards to form circular lobes on extended tabs, giving the frame a trapezoidal appearance. Between the two lobes, the outside edge of the frame has two indentations to form three lobes. The other side of the buckle has two smaller lobes at the corners and one indentation in the middle. The frame should be flat, but has suffered damage resulting in the buckle frame bending upwards at both sides of the strap bar. An old break has resulted in the loss of one of the flared lobes. The strap bar, integral and circular sectioned, has also been broken resulting in some loss. The pin is also missing. The frame has a red-brown patina. It now measures 29.9mm in width, 33.7mm in length and 3.5mm thick. It weighs 6.28g.The frame is similar to examples illustrated in Whithead, R. (1996. "Buckles 1250 - 1800". 84, no. 527. Chelmsford: Greenlight Publishing), no's. 526-528.
