Description: | A cast copper alloy double looped asymmetrical buckle frame. The strap bar survives intact, terminating with projecting knops.
A copper alloy chape extends from the strap end, terminating with a wire tongue, which has been wound into a loop. The chape has been attached to the strap bar, via two loops wound around the bar. In between the loops, a corroded lump of iron remains in situ. This would suggest that the pin (now missing) would have been made of iron and would have been attached to the strap bar, between the two loops.
The copper alloy is heavily corroded and pitted.
The buckle frame is complete. The buckle is a dark greyish-green colour.
The buckle is probably post-medieval in date circa 1550 ? 1750.
Similar types of buckles can be seen in Whitehead (2003), p90 -1. | 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
