Description: | An incomplete post-medieval cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle frame with trapezoidal loops, now having lost one of its loops. The surviving loop is rectangular in cross section. The outer edge of the loop is extended into a rounded point in the centre, flanked by rounded knops at the corners. There is an incised line running down the front of the outer edge with a shorter transverse line across the centre acting as a pin rest. There are raised knops at the ends of the narrowed strap bar that project slightly. The back is flat and plain. The copper-alloy pin is D-shaped in cross-section with a flat back and convex front. It tapers gradually and consistantly from the end looped loosely around the strap bar to the point. The pin has been bent upwards at its tip through c. 80 degrees.Whitehead (2003, 84) illustrates a very similar frame, no. 524, with similar incised lines, which he dates to c.1620-1680; there are many similar examples on our database, including SOM-F6B814. The buckle has variable green corrosion product over a red-brown metal. The outer edge has been bent upwards; no vestige of the other loop survives.
