An incomplete copper-alloy asymmetrical double-looped buckle frame of Post-Medieval date. It is missing the pin.
It is D-shaped in section. One loop is rectangular and the other is D-shaped. They are separated by an integrally cast triangular bar. The outer edge is expanded with trefoil decoration defined by longitudinal grooves. The other edge is straight and segmented by five longitudinal grooves. The back of the frame is flat.
There is iron corrosion, probably from the pin, present on the bar and the outer edge.
This buckle frame measures 19.09mm in length, 13.80mm in width, 1.83mm in thickness, 1.62g in weight.
There is a similar example recorded on the PAS database (NMS-9A9FA6).
