Description: | A cast copper-alloy double looped buckle frame, with decoratively moulded frame. There are moulded knops at either end of the strap bar, and the loops are decorated on the outer edges with a moulded rosette.
The reverse is undecorated. It is complete apart from the pin which is missing. The strap bar is very thin, especially in the centre of the pin ?? possibly due to wear.
The metal is dark greyish-green in colour and slightly pitted.
The pin is missing.
These buckles date from circa 1550 -1650. Simpler types of buckles can be seen in Whitehead (2003), p63. and Egan (2005), p35, Fig.17. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Clifford, Trista - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
