Description: | A corroded and bent asymmetrical double-looped buckle frame of post-medieval date. This example is incomplete in so far as it is missing its pin. One loop of the buckle is D-shaped, the other is sub-rectangular. The former features a centrally protruding moulded knop on its outer edge. The lower surface of the buckle is flat and undecorated. By contrast, the upper surface features moulded decoration, now indistinct due to the corrosion product. This latter is an off-white colour, over a metal that is dark grey. The artefact is significantly bent in profile with the D-shaped loop twisted slightly on one side.Similar examples can be found illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 92), and are dated to the late 16th and 17th century, though in the absence of excavated parallels.Length: 20.7mm, width: 14.8mm, thickness: 2.4mm (maximum), Weight: 1.59g
