Description: | Incomplete lacquered cast copper alloy rectangular double-loop buckle frame with moulded decoration on the outer edge of each loop. The outer edges of both loops are straight other than a central pair of projecting lobes. There is an incised line running down the centre between the two lobes acting as a pin rest. There are smaller raised and slightly projecting knops at the ends of the strap bar. The knops are shaped into a central lozenge flanked by incised oblique lines linking the end of the strap bar to the outer edge of the frame. The pin bar is narrowed and slightly recessed and the pin is now missing. There are patches of black lacquer which was painted on to the surface of the copper alloy in order to protect it.Whitehead (1996) illustrates a similar frame on page 79, no.486, with plain knops at the ends of the strap bar, which he dates from the 17th century.
