Title
Post-Medieval double-loop asymmetrical buckle
Description
English: A copper-alloy double-loop asymmetrical buckle of post-Medieval date.

One side of the buckle is 'D-shaped', while the other is roughly rectangular. The two sides are separated by a central axis bar of trapezoidal section, which extends to a knop at each end and has attached iron corrosion from the otherwise missing pin. An angled knop marks each of the four corners of the frame and the straight vertical side has been scalloped. The surfaces of the frame have been silvered or tinned.

Dimensions: 23.4mm long, 18.5mm wide, 2.3mm thick. Weight: 2.89g.

Similar buckles are illustrated by Whitehead, who suggests a late 16th to late 17th century date (1996: 92).
