Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy double looped sub-rectangular buckle. Only one complete loop and the pin remain. Fragments of the second loop remain, but the breaks are probably recent. The complete loop is a trapezoid in plan, with a narrowed strap bar. The bar is rectangular in section. The terminals of the strap bar are a sub-lozenge in plan. The portion of the loop which is parallel to the strap bar has two asymmetrical ??V?? shaped indentations on the exterior edge as decoration. The upper face of this portion of the loop also has a single linear groove as decoration and a notch for the pin. The pin is cast and is an elongated triangle which is curled around the strap bar. The surface of the pin and frame is abraded and is a dark grey/green colour. The buckle measures 21.15mm long and 22.97mm wide. It weighs 4.4g.
Whitehead (Whitehead, R. 1996 Buckles 1250 ?? 1800 Greenlight Publishing) illustrates a similar buckle, No. 521 and dates this to the 17th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bolton, Angie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
