Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy spectacle or double-loop oval buckle frame with moulded decoration and part of one loop missing, half of it having been forced over and pressed onto the back of the other loop. The frame is flat-based and convex in section. The pin rest is formed by a transverse ridge flanked by two sets of moulded oblique ridges on either side. The pin bar is broken and the pin missing, and iron oxide corrosion products attached to the pin bar suggest that the pin was probably made of iron. The frame is also corroded so that its dimensions have been reduced. It is 19 mm mlong, 21 mm wide and 1.7 mm thick and the pin bar is 17.7 mm long and 2.7 mm thick.
Whitehead (1996) illustrates similar examples on page 61, Nos.358 & 361, which are dated to c.1550-1650. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Tyacke, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
