Description: | The object is a double-looped buckle frame, probably dating to the 15th to 17th centuries AD or Medieval to Post Medieval period. The frame is made of cast copper alloy and is incomplete.
In plan the object is sub-rectangular, while in profile the frame is slightly angled. In cross-section the frame is D-shaped with a rounded obverse face and a flat and undecorated reverse. In plan the outer edge of the frame is wider than the side edges. The outer edges are possibly decorated with moulded lobed knops located at symmetrical points on each loop. Heavy abrasion to the outer edges however has rendered the decoration almost indistinct. The central bar is narrowed, triangular in cross-section and protrudes slightly beyond the edge of the frame. The pin is missing.
The object is light green in colour and in a poor condition. Heavy abrasion and damage is evident along the outer edges of the frame. The length of the buckle from side edge to side edge is 30.2mm, the width of the object from the apex of the loop to the apex of the opposing loop is 32.9mm, and its weight is 5.15g. | 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
