Post-medieval double-loop asymmetrical buckle
Description
English: A copper-alloy double-loop asymmetrical buckle of suggested late 16th to late 17th century AD date (R. Whitehead; 1996; pp. 92).

One side of the frame is trapezoidal in plan and tapers towards the central axis bar; its top and bottom sides have a flat upper surface and an outer section which angles downwards and outwards; the vertical outer side has seven moulded lobes. The other side of the buckle is D-shaped, is of similar section to the trapezoidal half and has projecting circular knob on each "corner". The axis bar is of trapezoidal section and has a projecting point at the top and bottom. The underside of the buckle is flat and both faces of the object retain traces of silvering or tinning. The pin is missing.

The buckle measures 31.1mm long, 22.4mm wide and 2.2mm thick; it weighs 3.81g.
