Description: | A worn, corroded and incomplete cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle frame of late medieval to early post-medieval date. The plain frame is formed of a pair of 'Ds' that incurve towards the pin bar; the pin is largely missing. The (possibly iron) pin loop remains corroded in place at one end of the pin bar. On the upper surface the frame is bevelled round the outer edge and also internally on the loops. The lower face is flat, giving the frame a sub-triangular cross-section (with rounded corners), including the pin bar. The loops of the buckle have been slightly distorted in form. Buckles of this size with double oval frames have been found in late medieval contexts (cf. Egan and Pritchard 1991, 82-83; refs. 332-333), but as the form persists a later date cannot be ruled out. | Subjects: | double-looped | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
