Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy double-loop trapezoidal buckle, missing most of one loop of the frame, but retaining the pin around the pin bar. The frame originally would have been trapezoidal in plan. The upper face is bevelled externally and the lower face is flat. The pin bar is 'D'-shaped in cross-section, flat at the rear. The cast pin tapers to a point and is 15 mm long, 3 mm wide and 2 mm thick. There is a knopped protrusion at each end of the pin bar. Each loop is angled upwards from the bar at about 25°. The frame is corroded and has a mid-green colour with patches of light-green corrosion products, especially on the lower face. Traces of tinning can be seen on the upper face.Whitehead (1996) illustrates similar buckles on page 82, Nos.506-507, which are dated from c.1570-1700.
