Description: | Eight copper-alloy post medieval buckle frames all likely to date to between 1500-1700. 1: Double oval shaped frame, 49mm by 28mm in size. The outer edges are expanded and there are knops where the bar meets the frame. There is an in situ copper-alloy pin attached via an open loop to the bar, it tapers to a point. 2: Double looped rectangular buckle frame, 43mm by 24mm in size. The outer edges are expanded into triangular shaped and there are knops where the bar meets the frame. There is a copper-alloy pin in situ attached to the bar via an open loop. 3: A double oval shaped buckle frame, 35mm by 22mm in size. The outer edges are expanded with two parallel rounded knops, there are also smaller knops where the bar meets the frame. There is an in situ copper-alloy pin attached to the bar via an open loop. This buckle frame has a white metal, probably tin, coating. 4: A rectangular double looped buckle frame, 35mm by 25mm in size. The outer edges are ornate with terminal rounded knops and central triangular projections, both of which have a transverse pin groove across their centres. There are also small knops where the bar meets the frame. There is an in situ copper-alloy pin attached to the frame via an open loop. The copper-alloy frame is a silvery grey in colour, indicating a high tin or possibly lead content. 5: A simple double looped oval shaped buckle frame, 26mm by 19mm in size. There are traces of iron corrosion around the bar, presumably from an iron pin. 6: A double looped oval frame, measuring 29mm by 26mm in szie. The outer edges of the frame are decorated with diagonal grooves and there are small knops where the bar meets the frame. 7: A double looped rectangular shaped frame, measuring 26mm by 21mm in size. The outer edges are decorated with evenly spaced diagonal grooves. 8: A double looped frame, one loop is oval in shape and the other rectangular, it measures 35mm by 25mm in size. The oval shaped loop has an ornate outer edge with a central rounded knop and smaller ones with transverse grooves either side of this. There are rounded knops where the frame meets the bar too. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
