Description: | Complete cast copper alloy double looped buckle of Post Medieval date (AD 1620 ? AD 1680). Length 31mm, width 21mm and 2.2mm thick. Weight 5.51g. The frame is flat on both faces. It is symmetrical and each identical loop is trapezoidal in plan. At the centre of each outer edge there is a pointed swelling and at each corner of the frame is an ovoid knop. There are lobed protrusions at the ends of the bar which is roughly square in cross-section. The tip of the pin is resting on hte underside of the frame and was found in this condition. The pin is made of flat copper alloy sheet and the end of the loop does not fully enclose and make contact with the shaft. The shaft of the pin tapers to a blunt point. Viewed from the side the shaft of the pin is curved upwards slightly. There is a pin rest in the form of a shallow and narrow groove at the centre of one of the outer edges. The frame is slightly corroded in places although most of the surfaces are covered with a mid-green patina. | 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: | 1620
