Description: | A slightly corroded double-looped buckle of post-medieval date. The frame is formed of two conjoined ovals. The frame is bevelled both externally and internally on the upper surface; the former is far shallower. The lower surface is flat. The pin bar is therefore triangular in cross-section. The pin is of thick sheet construction and tapers to a point. The upper surface of the frame is decorated with three incised lines on both outer edges; the outer lines travel outwards. This is characteristic of 16th- and 17th-century buckles according to Whitehead (1996, 52-53; refs. 289, 290). The buckle frame has corroded to a green colour, while the pin, made of a different, more coppery, alloy, is now red/brown. | 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 |
