Description: | A worn and corroded cast copper alloy Post Medieval double looped buckle frame. The narrowed pin bar terminates in lobed knops at each end. Iron corrosion on the strap bar may be the remains of the otherwise missing pin. The reverse of the buckle is flat, and the frame is steeply bevelled both internally and externally. The outer edge of each loop is expanded outwards at the centre into an oval area decorated with a 6 petalled rose. The buckle has a mid-dark green patina with black lacquer coating remaining in places. Whitehead (2003) illustrates a similar example (p.66, No.408) which he dates to c1550-1650 AD. It is 40.5 long, 23.3mm wide and 2.4mm thick; it weighs 5.12 grams. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burnett, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
