Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy double-loop buckle with ten recessed round settings for stones, with six opaque white glass stones remaining. The stones are round in plan, 4.5 mm in diameter, and domed in profile. The pin bar is narrowed and flush with the frame and the pin is now missing. The edge of the frame is made of ten semi-circular curves in plan, following the outside of each of the stone settings. The surface of the buckle is quite corroded and the glass has become cloudy as it has divitrified, so that the original aesthetic look of the piece is hard to ascertain.Whitehead (1996) illustrates a similar buckle on page 71, no.446 which is more rectangular in shape with more settings, but a similar style of setting, and is dated from c.1600-1720.Read (1988) illustrates a similar buckle with the same number of settings on page 143, no.917, which is dated from c.1650-1700.See a similar buckle in record CORN-2C6087.
