Title
Post-Medieval double-loop asymmetrical buckle
Description
English: A copper-alloy double-loop asymmetrical buckle of post-Medieval (suggested late 16th to late 17th century) date (Whitehead 1996: 92).

One side of the buckle is 'D-shaped', while the other is trapezoidal. The two sides are separated by a central axis bar of triangular section, which extends to a knop at each end. A similar knop also projects outwards from each corner of the frame. The vertical side of the trapezoidal half of the frame consists of a transversely segmented pin rest. The pin itself is missing. The surfaces have a silvery appearance, indicating either a high tin content or a white-metal surface coating. The buckle measures 24.1mm long, 19.2mm wide, 2.3mm thick and weighs 2.63g.
Depicted place (County of findspot) Central Bedfordshire
