Description: | Complete copper alloy double looped buckle frame of Late Medieval or Early Post Medieval date (c. 1400 AD - c. 1600/1700 AD). Length 29mm, width 24mm and about 3mm thick. Weight 5.03g. Each identical loop is oval in plan and convex at the front. The inner faces of each loop are steeply bevelled. The slightly narrowed bar is sub-triangular in cross-section and is worn at the centre where the pin (now missing) was in contact. There is iron staining close to the wear on the bar and this may indicate, perhaps, that the pin was made of iron. There is no indication of a pin rest. The rear face is flat. The piece is corroded and has a patchy dark 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: | 1400
