Description: | Cast copper alloy double-loop asymmetrical buckle frame with a leaf-shaped knop on the outer edge of the curved loop. The knop has a central groove which may have held the pin, now missing, and oblique moulded grooves emanating from the longitudinal groove, imitating the veins of a leaf. The frame expands into a trapezoidal loop with a straight edge at the opposite end of the frame. The frame has a bevelled internal edge and a flat base so that it is triangular in section. On either end of the pin bar are narrow ridged projections. The buckle has a green patina, with patches of iron oxide on the surface, suggesting that the pin was probably made of iron.Whitehead (1996) illustrates similar buckles with moulded knops on page 92, nos. 581-582, which are dated from c.1575 -1700.See similar examples in records: WMID-9E04A4, WAW-B5E3D0, NMS-490A54 and NMS-1195B7.
