Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy double-looped buckle of post-medieval date, now missing one of its loops and its pin. It measures 27.3mm by 38.0mm by 3.1mm and weighs 5.65g. The loops are oval and are bevelled externally on the upper surface; the lower surface is flat giving it a broadly triangular cross-section. The breaks are both at the pin bar and are old and worn. At both ends of the pin bar is a pointed knopped protrusion. On the upper surface there is bevelling internally and externally. The upper surface is otherwise flat, as is the reverse of the buckle frame. The buckle is of a dull mid-grey colour. The loop has been bent upwards, possibly through use rather than damage. For comparable buckles see Whitehead (1996, 54); they are conventionally dated to the 16th or 17th centuries.
