Description: | Cast copper alloy double-looped buckle frame of Post Medieval date, probably seventeenth century (AD 1600 ? AD 1700). Length 32.2mm, width 27.4 and 1.7mm thick. Weight 7.27g. The frame is slightly convex at the front and flat at the rear. Each oval loop is identical in profile and at the centre of each outer edge there is a pronounced raised circular moulding in the form of an animal?s face mask, probably that of a lion. Each of the masks face inwards towards the narrowed central bar which is rectangular in cross-section. Pin missing. The surfaces are covered in fine linear grooves in low relief and are possibly the result of filing or fettling. The piece is slightly corroded and is partially covered with a mid-green patina. There is no trace of gilding or other surface treatment. | 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: | 1600
