Description: | Incomplete fragment from a cast copper alloy double looped buckle of probable post-medieval date (1550-1650). The fragment comprises one small section of the buckle frame which is irregular in plan and broadly D shaped in cross section. The fragment comes form the outer loop of the buckle. There is no evidence for a recessed pin rest on the fragment. The fragment of buckle frame is decorated with a series of cast recessed lines and a small trefoil shaped knop. The recessed lines indicate a design of a shell. There is no evidence of an applied surface present. The buckle fragments measures 14.7mm long, 23.8mm wide, is 3.6mm thick and weighs 2.16 grams.
The buckle is a mid - light green colour with a slightly abraded polished patina which covers all surfaces. Movement in the ploughsoil has resulted in the buckle becoming asymmetrical, and slightly bowed in profile. The two broken edges are relatively fresh suggesting that the damage occurred relatively recently. Similar examples to this buckle can be seen in Ross Whitehead's book 'Buckles 1250 - 1800' pages 62-63. He dates these to the early post medieval (Tudor and Stuart) period (1550-1650). A good parallel can be seen in examples 375. | Subjects: | Double Looped | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Reavill, Peter - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
