Description: | A worn and incomplete cast copper-alloy post-medieval double-looped buckle frame found in two unequal parts. The pin bar extends beyond the edges in pointed lobes; the pin has been lost. The reverse is flat, and the frame slightly bevelled internally and externally. The upper face is decorated on each outer edge by a worn five-petalled rosette with three outer petals and two inner. Viewed in profile one of the loops (the broken one) has been bent upwards as a result of old damage. Dark traces, possibly of vernis brun, survive particularly on the reverse face. Such buckles tend to be attributed a later 16th-century date (cf. Egan 2005, 35; ref. 88). The style of buckle is quite a common one: numerous examples are documented in the literature (from, for example, Norwich and Colchester: respectively, Margeson 1993, 31; ref. 174 and Crummy 1988, 17; ref. 1758) and on this database.
