Description: | A double looped rectangular buckle made from cast copper. In plan, the buckle is rectangular with rounded corners. The loops are undecorated. The reverse is flat and undecorated but the frame is bent due to recent damage. The strap bar is narrowed, and is semi-circular in section. The pin is missing. The buckle loops has traces of a mid green patina and traces of red copper corrosion. The buckle measures 40.18mm long and 31.35mm wide. It weighs 7.6g.
Whitehead (Whitehead, R. 1996 Buckles 1250-1800 Greenlight Publishing) illustrates similar shaped and sized buckles, Nos. 269-295 and dates them broadly to the mid 15th to mid 17th century. The red copper corrosion on the recorded example may suggest an early Post Medieval date rather than a later Medieval date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bolton, Angie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
