Description: | A cast copper alloy buckle of probable early seventeenth century date. The buckle measures 37.7mm by 24mm by 2.5mm and weighs 6.9g. The trapezium-shaped frame has trefoil ends and a rounded external protrusion at each end of the central bar. The pin is wrapped around the bar and tapers to a blunt point. The front of the buckle is decorated with an grooved transverse notch and perpendicular line on each outside edge. A similar buckle from Cockington in Devon can be seen in Read's 'History Beneath our Feet' (1995, p. 144, no. 930). The suggested date for this example is c. 1600-50. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Payne, Naomi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
