Description: | A small cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle of medieval to post-medieval date. The loops are oval in form and have neatly serrated outer edges, each with seven points. The loops are bevelled externally on the upper surface; the lower face is flat and plain. The loops incurve towards the pin bar; the pin is now missing. Both loops have been bent upwards in profile. Buckles with outer edges treated in this way can be found illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 60; particularly ref. 355). Here they are dated from c. 1450 to 1600 AD. The corrosion product is largely a mid-green colour; the underlying metal appears to be 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 |
