Description: | A post-medieval copper-alloy double-looped buckle frame dating to the period c. 1600-1700. The buckle is missing its plate and part of its pin. The frame and axis bar are trapezoidal in cross section. The axis bar is narrowed and holds the remains of the copper alloy pin. This is rectangular in cross-section and tapers to an old break about halfway along its length. The axis bar has triangular knop at each terminus. These knops expand out to each side to form the two loops, each trapezoidal in plan. Rounded knops project horizontally from the corners of the loops, and the outer edges of both loops extend out to points in the centre, each with an incised transverse line forming a pin rest. The reverse is flat and undecorated. Traces of a white metal coating are visible on the surface.Th buckle frame measures 36.34mm in length, 25.35mm in width, 3.09mm in thickness and weighs 8.02g.Cf. Whitehead (2003), p.84, no.524, which is dated to c.1620-1680 AD and a similar example on the database is SOM-F6B814.
