Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy double looped 'spectacle' buckle of early post-medieval date. Just over half of the original buckle survives; the narrowed strap bar is missing its pin and all of the second loop is now absent. There is a pointed, possibly acorn-like knop at either end of the strap bar. The surviving frame is slightly rounded on the top and has two raised ribs at its outermost point, presumably acting as a pin rest as well as being decorative. Whitehead (1996:54) illustrates a similar buckle (No.360), which is dated from c. AD 1550-1650.
