Description: | A cast copper alloy double looped buckle frame, with the remains of the pin in situ. Only one loop survives. The surface of the buckle has been gilded, this is now very pitted.
There is no pin recess.
Moulded lobes survive on each loop, each flanked by a number of moulded ridges. The strap bar projects beyond the edge of the frame, terminating with rounded lobes.
The buckle is a mid brownish-green colour, but the surface is heavily pitted and has lost much of its original surface.
These buckles date from circa 1550-1650.
Parallels for this type of buckle can be seen in Whitehead, 2003, p66-7. | 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
