Description: | Cast copper alloy double-loop vesica-shaped buckle with an openwork frame with a flat base and upper face and a simple, narrowed, central pin bar that is flush with the frame. The frame has bevelled inner edges, and serrated outer edges which terminate in a slight point at each apex, and in a rounded knop at each end of the pin bar. Within each knop and each pointed outer apex, there is a circular hole, so that there are four in total within the frame. The pin is now missing. The surface of the frame may have originally been tinned but it is now too corroded and pitted to see any remains.Whitehead (1996) illustrates a similar spectacle buckle on page 69, no.435, which is dated from c.1550-1660.
