Description: | A copper alloy double looped buckle of post-medieval date (AD 1620 -AD 1680). The buckle frame is sub rectangular / trapezoidal in plan, and rectangular in profile. The buckle has trefoil shaped ends and a loped protrusion at either end of the narrowed strap bar. The pin is missing and the strap bar damaged where it would have rested.The front face of the buckle has been decorated with an incised transverse line spanning the width of the buckle at the edge closest to the open loop. A horizontal incised line transverses at the centre of the buckle from the loop edge to the outer edge. This decoration is mirrored on both narrow outer edges of the buckle. The rear of the buckle is undecorated. The buckle has a dark brown patina and is in fair condition. Whitehead (2003, p84) has illustrated a similar buckle (no.524) with the same engraved decoration. He has dated this type of buckle to the Post Medieval period (c.AD 1620 to c.AD 1680) and suggests they may have been used a buckling spurs. There are also examples recorded on the PAS database such as WMID-9CC53C, https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/782044.Dimensions: 20mm in length, 33mm in width, 3mm thick, 4.75g
