Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle frame of late medieval to early post-medieval date. The frame was formed of a pair of ovals that incurve towards the pin bar; one loop has been all but lost. The pin is missing. On the upper surface the frame is bevelled round the outer edge and also internally on the loops but far more steeply. The lower face is flat. The frame has been bent in profile, particularly the pin bar which curves upwards in an arc. 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. The frame is now a green colour which some scratching. | 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 |
