Description: | A fragment of a cast copper-alloy double looped buckle frame, with decoratively moulded frame. Only one loop survives. 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. The pin is also 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. Black laquer survives on the surface.
These buckles date from circa 1550 -1650. Similar types of buckles can be seen in Whitehead (2003), p63 and Egan (2005), p35, Fig. 88. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
