Description: | Tinned cast copper-alloy double-looped shoe or girdle buckle frame. It is sub-rectangular in shape and flat, with a simple, narrowed, central bar. The frame has squared ends with chamfered edges and abraded trefoil sides and has a flat base and a convex profile in cross-section. The strap bar terminals are flush with the rest of the frame. On similar examples of this buckle type, the bar often has a folded sheet copper-alloy plate with attachment stud to fix the buckle to a shoe or girdle, but on this example there is no plate. The buckle is 39 mm long and 25.5 mm wide, and 2 mm in thickness. The bar within the frame is 13.8 mm long and 2 mm wide and 2 mm in thickness.
Whitehead (1996) illustrates a similar buckle on page 71, with plate number 443, which he dates to c.1600-1720.
Read (1988) illustrates another example on page 142, with No. 908, which he dates to c.1600-1700. | 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: | 1600
