Description: | The object is a double-looped asymmetrical buckle frame. Whitehead (Whitehead, R. 1996 Buckles 1250 to 1800 Greenlight Publishing) illustrates a similar buckle dated to the late 16th to 17th centuries.
In plan the buckle is a sub-rectangle, divided in the centre by a trapezoidal sectioned strap bar. The loops have a sub-triangular section. One loop is trapezoidal in plan. The loop has a moulded beaded terminal edge. The other loop is a ??D?? shape in plan, with two knops on the exterior edge. Around the strap bar is iron corrosion, suggesting the pin was made of iron, but has since corroded away.
The surface is abraded and slightly corroded. There are traces of a silver or tin wash on the surface. The buckle measures 31.65mm long and 23.47mm. It weighs 4.15g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bolton, Angie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
