Description: | The buckle is cast copper alloy. In plan originally it was a sub-oval shape with two loops, however now only one loop and a strap bar remains. The strap bar is a triangular in section. The remaining loop is a ?D? shape in plan, with the exterior edge having an integral knop protruding at each corner. Both terminals of the strap bar also have moulded decoration. The pin is missing. The frame has traces of a dark green patina, otherwise the surface is abraded. The buckle measures 25.4mm long from the strap bar to the outer edge of the loop, and 22.8mm wide. It weighs 3.3g.
Whitehead (Whitehead, R. 1996 Buckles 1250 ? 1800 Greenlight Publishing) illustrates a similar buckle, No. 303 without the decorative knops and dates this to the 16th to mid 17th century. | 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: | 1500
