Description: | A cast copper alloy double looped buckle frame. Both loops of the frame survive, but the buckle is in two twisted fragments. The breaks are very well worn.
The outer edge of each loop have been decoratively moulded with fives loops, the centre loop is much larger.
The strap bar terminates with a rounded knop.
The reverse is undecorated and flat. The pin is also missing.
The metal is a light greyish-green colour. There are traces of the original patina do survive. These buckles date from circa 1550-1650. Parallels for this type of buckle can be seen in Whitehead, 2003, p60-1. | 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: | 1550
