Description: | The object is an incomplete buckle. Margeson illustrates a similar buckle (No. 170)) which is dated to the 18th century. The buckle is incomplete, but is likely to be from a double looped frame. The frame is made from cast copper alloy.
Only a single loop of the frame remains. The frame tapers slightly towards the strap bar, which is also missing. The break of these terminals is not recent. The loop is flat on the reverse and has a sub semi-circular shaped section. The loop is decorated with three notches, the outer two form a 'V' shape. The surface of the frame has a mid green patina.
The buckle measures 27.77mm long and 17.47mm wide. It weighs 2.3g. | 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: | 1700
