status: Awaiting validation 
An elaborate incomplete Post-Medieval cast copper alloy buckle, dating to AD 1620 - 1690.
The buckle is a double looped rectilinear example, 70% of the frame, central bar survive, the pin is missing. It is flattened and rectilinear in cross section.The central frame is plain and linear, but the outer sides are decorated with an elaborate openwork design, involving a series of curved crescentic apertures that spool around the outer frame, leaving a series of voids between them. The front surface appears to have a well preserved white metal coating.
Whitehead (1996) illustrates similar trapezoidal buckles with asymmetrical openwork on page 80, nos.497-499, which are dated from c.1620-1690.
