Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy double looped sub-oval buckle with openwork frame of Post-Medieval date circa (AD 1550-1650). The buckle is incomplete due one half of the looped frame being incomplete and a missing pin. The frame has two circular holes at the outer edge of the loop with a rounded knop to form a trefoil design. The narrowed bar has a small knop at each end. Both faces are undecorated. All surfaces have a mid to dark green patina. It is possible that the buckle was originally applied with a white metal coated surface/tinning. Similar buckles can be found illustrated in Whitehead (2003), pp 69-70, Nos. 437 - 439. There are also parallels on the PASdatabase, discovered on the Isle of Wight (IOW-0AF062) and Powys, Wales (CPAT-AE42C0). The buckle measures 38.1mm long, 29.8mm wide, is 2.6mm thick and weighs 4.8 grams.Whitehead, R. (2003)Buckles 1250 - 1800. Witham, Greenlight Publishing.
