Description: | An incomplete copper alloy double looped buckle, of Post Medieval dating (c. AD 1550 to c. AD 1650).The buckle frame is almost complete, a break is present in one of the loops. The pin and strap plate are missing, presumed lost in antiquity. The buckle frame is a double looped oval frame, with a trilobed knop and two lobed knops at symmetrical points on the outer edge of each loop. A lobed knop is located on either end of the strap bar. Moulded rosettes are located on the outer edge of each loop. Moulded roundels are present on the rest of the loops. The strap bar is narrowed just below the centre point. The reverse is flat with no decoration.It measures 53.3 mm in length, 31.8 mm wide and 2.5 mm thick. It weighs 9.2 g.The buckle frame is a mid brown colour, with an uneven surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail.This buckle is similar to that depicted as #415 by Whitehead (1996, p.67) and is consistent with an early Post Medieval date (c. AD 1550 to c. AD 1650). Two similar buckle frames have been recorded on the PAS database as SWYOR-323627 and NARC-04FE68.Reference:Whitehead, R. 1996. Buckles 1250-1800.
