Description: | Post medieval copper alloy double-loop buckle frame with pin. The frame had two trapezoid loops widening away from the strap bar, giving a concave curved upper and lower side. One loop is now 95% lost to old breaks. The remaining loop has large ovoid knops projecting at an angle from the outer corners and the outer side is expanded in the centre into a triangular point with a smaller lobed knop on the outer point. There are angular knops at each end of the narrowed strap bar. Both front and back faces are flat and plain. The thick copper alloy sheet pin is trapezoid in section with angled sides and wider back and is wrapped loosely around the bar and tapers continuously to a sharp point. It thins and narrows slightly more at the point and the point is curved up. The remaining section of frame is 45.2mm long by 50.1mm wide and 2.6mm thick. The pin is 28.7mm long and 4.5mm wide by 2.8mm thick at the loop. It weighs 13.34 grams in total.Whitehead (2003:83) illustrates a similar frame, no. 520, without the lobed knop on the point at the centre of the loop, which he dates to c.AD 1620-1680.
