Description: | A copper-alloy double-oval buckle of probable mid 15th to late 16th/early 17th century date (R. Whitehead; 1996; pp. 60).
Both sides of the frame are roughly D-shaped. Each of the two vertical outer sides has four moulded lobes, and the surfaces are decorated with horizontal grooves and ridges. Wrapped around the central axis bar is a sub-rectangular plate. At the open end of the plate is a corroded iron rivet, which would originally have attached the buckle to a leather belt; at the axis bar end is a horizontal slot into which is fitted the attachment end of the tongue-shaped pin.
The object measures 31.4mm long, 24.1mm wide and 5.2mm thick. No weight recorded. | Subjects: | Double-Oval | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Laakso, Laura | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
