Description: | The object is fragment of a cast copper alloy buckle frame. Whitehead (Whitehead, R. 1996 Buckles 1250 to 1800 Greenlight Publishing) dates a similar shaped and decorated frame to the 17th century, No. 22.
What remains of the buckle frame is the strap bar and its terminals. The strap bar is semi-circular in section. Each terminal is integral to the frame, of which only a small portion remains. The breaks of the frame are perhaps recent, as no fresh metal is revealed, the corrosion is slightly different on the broken edges. The upper face of the frame is decorated with punched ring-and-dot designs. In profile the frame is flat. The surface of the frame is abraded and has lost most of its original surface to reveal a red/brown corrosion
The frame is 27.8mm long from the exterior edges of the frame across to the strap bar, 10.71mm wide and 2.04mm thick. It weighs 1.4g. | 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
