status: Awaiting validation 
A worn and corroded post-medieval cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle. It is formed of two oval loops such that the sides in curve. The frame is bevelled both externally and internally on its upper surface; the latter is far steeper. The lower surface is flat. The buckle has a narrow pin bar with a triangular cross section; the pin is truncated, but the remnant tapers to a point; it has been bent round on itself. The buckle has corroded to a mid red/brown colour with traces of light-green corrosion product in places. One of the loops has been bent upwards slightly in profile, more so towards in side. Similar buckles can be found illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 53).
