Description: | A complete cast copper alloy double looped trapezoidal buckle of Post Medieval dating (AD 1620 -AD 1680).The buckle frame is sub rectangular / trapezoidal in plan, and rectangular in profile. The outer edges have been bevelled. A large rounded triangular integrally cast projections extend from either edge of the frame, and a rectangular knop is present at either end of the narrowed central bar. Both of the knops are damaged. The pin is intact which is made from a rectangular piece of copper alloy that has been folded around the central bar. This is pointed at the outer edge. The pin moves freely on the central bar. The reverse of the buckle is plain and undecorated. The buckle has a mid-brown-green coloured patina. Several comparative examples have been published, in particular no's 511-513 by Whitehead (2003, p82). He has dated these buckles to the Post Medieval period (c.AD 1620 to c.AD 1680).The buckle measures 36.09mm long, 21.14mmwide, is 2.57mm thick and weighs 4.41 grams.Whitehead, R. 2003.
