Description: | Post medieval cast copper alloy double loop buckle frame, missing a 90% of one loop and the pin. The buckle was originally broadly rectangular with slightly concave upper and lower edges and convex curved ends with a distinct corner between them. There is a narrowed integral central strap bar with triple lobed knops at either end. These are flanked by slightly concave curved sections of the upper and lower sides. Beyond this, on the outer ends of each side, is an outward projecting pointed knop. The ends are widened in the centre, coming to a point on the inner side. There are old breaks where the rest of the second loop is missing. The frame is now 23.9mm long, 24.1mm wide and 2.5mm thick; it weighs 2.74 grams.Whitehead (2003:70) illustrates two similar examples, no.440 and 441, which are more oval than this example and have single knops at the ends of the strap bars, he dates them to c.AD 1600-1720. SOM-45AEF8 on this database is also similar without the triple lobed knops at the end of the strap bar.
