Description: | Cast copper alloy asymmetrical, single-loop, sub-rectangular buckle with concave sides and moulded outer edge. The front of the edge is rounded with a single lobed knop in the centre. The knop is defined by two moulded lines which form a V pointing to the inside edge of the frame. The strap bar is recessed and narrowed. The frame is convex in section with a bevelled base that arches and rises towards the inner edge of the frame. The surface is pitted and damaged in places with part of the edges of the strap bar and underside of the frame now missing.
The buckle frame is 27 mm long and 25 mm wide and 3 mm in thickness. The bar is 23 mm long and 3 mm wide and 3.3 mm in thickness.
Whitehead (1996) illustrates a similar buckle on page 28, No.145, which is dated from c.1500-1650.
Read (1988) illustrates a similar buckle on page 109, No.657, which is dated from c.1500-1600. | 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
