Description: | A 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 five lobes formed of four grooves. One of the loops is smaller than the other at 18.6mm wide. The loops are shallowly bevelled externally on the upper surface; the lower face is flat and plain. The three central lobes feature a pair of grooves. The loops incurve towards the pin bar. The tapering pin is of thick sheet construction and has a dark green patina. Buckles with outer edges treated in this way can be found illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 60; particularly ref. 352). Here they are dated from c. 1450 to 1600 AD. The buckle has a dark grey patina with patches of lighter corrosion product. | 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 |
