Description: | A worn and incomplete cast copper-alloy post-medieval double-looped buckle frame. The pin bar extends beyond the edges in pointed lobes; the pin has been lost. Considerable orange corrosion product at the centre of the pin bar suggests an iron composition for the pin. The reverse of the buckle is flat, and the frame slightly bevelled internally and externally. The upper face is decorated on each outer edge by a five-petalled rosette with three outer petals and two inner. This buckle has been bent in profile and had one of its loops squashed as a result of old damage. Such buckles tend to be attributed a later 16th-century date (cf. Egan 2005, 35; ref. 88). The style of buckle is quite a common one: numerous examples are documented in the literature (from, for example, Norwich and Colchester: respectively, Margeson 1993, 31; ref. 174 and Crummy 1988, 17; ref. 1758) and on this database. | 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 |
