Description: | Half of a cast copper alloy double loop trapezoidal shaped buckle, with elaborately moulded decorations on the loops. The frame has trefoil shaped ends, formed of three lobes on each side. The strap bar also terminates with rounded knops. The copper alloy pin is missing, but a pin recess can be seen on the outer edge of the surviving loop. The metal has lost most of its original surface and the metal is a mid reddish-brown colour and is pitted. This type of buckle dates from circa 1620 ?? 1680. Parallels for this type of buckle can be seen in Whitehead, 2003, p84. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
