Description: | A post-medieval cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle frame, incomplete insofar as it is missing a pin. The buckle is broadly oval; with broadly straight upper and lower edges and convex curved ends. There is a narrowed integral central strap bar with lobed knops at either end. These are flanked by slightly concave curved sections of the upper and lower sides. Beyond this, on the outer ends of each side, is an outward projecting knop; some of these are abraded. The ends are thickened in the centre coming to a point on the inner side.Whitehead (2003, 70) illustrates two similar examples, nos. 440 and 441, which he dates to c.AD 1600-1720. One of the loops has been twisted upwards as a result of old damage. The buckle has a mid-brown patina on the upper surface with some pitting. The lower surface is rough and has corroded to an off-white and light-green colour. Traces of orange/brown corrosion product are visible particularly on the lower surface at one end of the pin bar and are suggestive of an iron pin.
