Description: | The object is a double looped oval shaped buckle. It is made from cast copper. Whitehead dates a similar buckle (No. 392) to the mid 16th to mid 17th centuries.
In plan the buckle is an oval shape. On the exterior edge of each loop apex there is an integral sub semi-circular protrusion each with a faint knop. The strap bar is narrowed, and is trapezoidal in section. The loops are undecorated, as is the reverse. In profile the frame is slightly distorted. The pin is a cast elongated triangle which is curled around the strap bar.
The buckle frame and pin have traces of a mid green patina and also a silver/tin wash. The buckle measures 38.4mm long and 21.5mm wide. It weighs 4.84g. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1550
