Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy double-loop, trapezoidal buckle with ornate moulded outer edges consisting of two outer lobes and a pointed front in the shape of a trefoil. The pointed centre of the edge of the extant loop is engraved with a notch, for the pin to rest on, and the pin bar is narrowed and recessed. The inner and outer edges of the two sides of the frame are chamfered, making the frame trapezoidal in section. The narrowed strap bar has two lobed protrusions, one at either end. The surface colour and corrosion have made the layer of tin a dull grey, but it would originally have looked like silver. The buckle frame is 20.6 mm long and 23.9 mm wide and 2.5 mm in thickness. The bar including the lobes is 21.2 mm long and 2.3 mm wide and 2.3 mm in thickness, and is also trapezoidal in section.Whitehead (1996) illustrates a similar buckle on page 83, no.522, which is dated from c.1620-1680.
