Description: | Complete cast copper alloy double-looped sub-oval buckle, with a pin bar that still retains its cast copper alloy pin. There are moulded rosette knops on the outer edges of each loop. There are also moulded and engraved trefoil knops at each end of the strap bar. Between the rosettes and the trefoils there are further bifid mouldings on the sides of the frame. The loops are plano-convex in section with a shallow bevelled outer edge and an abrupt bevelled inner edge. The bar is narrowed and recessed and triangular in section. It is still tinned in some places but most of the surface has lost this layer due to corrosion.Whitehead (1996) illustrates a similar buckle frame on page 71, no.444, which is dated from c.1600-1720.
