Description: | A slightly corroded single-looped sub-rectangular buckle of post-medieval date. The strap bar is narrowed and recessed; the frame protrudes slightly beyond the pin bar on either side. The pin is missing. At the ends of the pin bar the frame is moulded, the knop divided from the rest of the frame by a groove. From the pin bar the buckle narrows slightly to a waist before expanding to a maximum width at the outer edge. The curved outer edge is externally bevelled; on the lower surface it is concave. The internal side of the outer edge has a central curved protrusion within which the pin would have sat centrally in its triangular groove. The buckle now has a red-brown colour with patches of green corrosion product. Similar buckles can be found illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 29; refs. 157, 158). Whitehead only offers a wide date range presumably due to the lack of stratified examples. | Subjects: | single-looped | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
