Description: | A small incomplete cast copper-alloy double looped or 'spectacle' buckle dating c. AD1550-1650 (Whitehead 2003, 54).The buckle consitsts of two ovoid loops with small lentoid knops at either end of the central strap bar. The loops are undecorrated, but highly bevelled particularly on the back which has left the back of the bars slightly concave.The buckle frame is bent upwards, typical of the type. Each end of the frame has a filled notch for a pin, which possibly means this buckle had two pins at somepoint, which is seen on some buckles alternatively the pin was replaced and a new notch added. No pin remains wraped around the strap bar. The buckle is a medium green colour mottled with a few patches brown orange, with a shiny coppery patch where the buckle has taken recent damage.Measurements: 20.97mm long, 18.02mm wide, 2.31mm thick and 2.43g in weight.
