Description: | An ornate, rectangular, two piece copper alloy buckle. The long sides of the rectangle are each decorated with two horseshoe shaped depressions with raised rims flanking a slightly raised central knop. There are further slightly raised knops at each end of each long side. The short sides are decorated with an incised transverse groove and each has a flattened extension, the end of which is cut with four small notches. The pin or plate appears to have been iron and has corroded away, leaving a ferrous concretion blocking one half of the buckle. The frame has a grey green patina and may have been tinned. It is 24.5mm long 16.5mm wide, and 5.9mm thick. It weighs 4.06gm. The buckle is very similar to number 362 in ??Buckles?? by Whitehead and can be dated to 1660 ?? 1720. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
