Post Medieval copper alloy double loop buckle with part of the pin still in situ. The buckle has two oval loops each with large knops in the centre of the outer edge. The oval knops project into and beyond the line of the loops and have an unclear raised design, possibly a flower, on them. The rest of both loops is decorated with a worn design, possibly a recessed strip with regularly spaced raised pellets within it. There are worn pointed knops at each end of the narrowed strap bar. The pin is a copper alloy strip, D-shaped in cross section and brooken soon after it is loosely looped…

Copper-alloy single-looped 'D' shaped Post-Medieval buckle frame, incomplete in so far as it is missing its pin. It has concave curved top and bottom sides. The strap bar is narrowed and recessed. The outer side is convex curved with a single lobed knop projecting from the centre, the knop is emphasised by diagonal grooves running across the frame, flanking the inner edges. The reverse is concave, apart from the strap bar. Length: 26.1mm, Width: 22.8mm, Thickness: 2.9mm, Weight: 2.33g. A very similar example may be seen in Whitehead (2003, 28; ref.145) which he dates to c.AD 1500-1650.
