Description: | Early Post-Medieval copper alloy gilt double-looped buckle frame, missing the shank of its pin. It measures 65.86x24.36mm (internal loops 18.58x12.08mm) and weighs 17.71g.The expanded outside edges are ornate and somewhere between triangular and rounded in shape, meeting at a point at the centre with the edges nipped in on either side below. The edge flanking the internal loop is alos ornate and wavy in outline. Each outside edge is decorated with the head of a lion, both facing in the same direction. To the reverse the outside edge is hollowed behind the lions' heads.The arms of the frame onto which the axis bar attaches have pointed oval shavings on either side and touching, to create a wavy edge.The axis bar is circular in section (c.3mm diameter) and set so the lower half hangs slightly below the frame. The curl of the iron pin is in situ around the centre.Mid-17th to mid-18th century in date. Cf. SUR-3FAC35 from Compton with Shawford, Hampshire, which David Williams (Surrey FLO) thinks could have connections with the Navy.
