Description: | A copper-alloy Double-oval buckle of probable 16th century date. A parallel for this artefact was found at Meols, Cheshire (see Egan in Griffiths et al., 2007, p. 213, no. 2992).
The buckle is symmetrical, each side of the frame being roughly D-shaped. The upper surface is covered with moulded foliate decoration and there is a flower head at the centre point of each side. The central axis bar is of roughly semi-circular section and has a moulded fleur-de-lis at each end, the point of the central plume forming a projecting knop. The tongue-shaped pin has been looped around the axis bar. A white metal coating has been applied to the surfaces of the buckle, including the flat underside.
The object measures 46.6mm long, 28mm wide and 6.4mm thick. The weight is 10.34g. | Subjects: | Double-oval | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
