Post Medieval cast copper alloy incomplete double loop buckle frame. One loop of the frame survives and only the stump of one side of the other loop. The remaining piece is broken into two pieces, the breaks are patinated. The remaining loop is trapizoid with a longer outer edge. The outer edge has knops at each corner and is expanded into a triangle in the centre with a central pin groove and bevelled outer edges. The frame is otherwise rectangular in section with a narrowed strap bar with knops either end. It is c.37.7mm long, 43.6mm wide, 3.4mm thick and weighs 10.89 grams. It is similar to Whitehead (2003) page 83, No.520 which he dates to c.1620-1680 AD.
