Description: | An incomplete post-medieval copper alloy double-oval buckle frame with moulded surface decoration. The frame now consists of one loop with axis bar and one small stub which would have extended into the other loop. The upper surface of the remaining loop is decorated with moulded curvilinear ribs and barrel moulding at the centre of the outer edge, either side of which scrolling decoration extends into a scrolled knop in each corner. The top and bottom edges each have a moulded collar at symmetrical points. The strap bar is plain and D-shaped in section and is distinguished from the frame by two small transverse ridges. Either side of the strap is bar is a lobed knop in the form of a detailed humanoid head. The reverse of the buckle is flat and plain. Iron staining on the strap bar suggests that the pin, which is now missing, was made of iron. There are traces of black lacquer on both faces.The frame measures 26.5mm (with both loops would have been c.45mm) x 31.2mm, is 4.2mm thick and weighs 6.87g. Internal loop dimensions are 22.5mm x 13.8mm.
