Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy double looped sub-rectangular buckle. Only one complete loop and a fragment of the second loop remains. The broken edges of the loop are possibly quite recent, but no fresh metal is visible. The complete loop, on the interior, is rectangular with an off-set semi-circle at each narrow terminal. The exterior edge is similar to the interior, except the edge, parallel to the strap bar has a integral vertical bar which protrudes slightly beyond the loop. The edges of the loop and strap bar are slightly bevelled. The strap bar is narrowed and is sub-oval in section. The reverse is flat. The frame is twisted slightly, but this is probably due to recent damage. The pin is missing. The surface of the frame is slightly abraded and has a matte mid grey/green colour. The buckle measures 34.96mm long from loop to loop and 43.53mm wide across the complete loop. It weighs 8.7g.
A similar style buckle is illustrated in Ottaway and Rogers (Ottaway, P. and Rogers, N. 2002 Craft, Industry and Everyday Life: Finds From Medieval York York Archaeological Trust and CBA), No. 14306, as this has a similar integral bar which protrudes beyond the loop and a similar interior edged shape. However this buckle is only a singled looped type and is unstratified. The buckle may date to the early Post Medieval period, however a direct comparison cannot be found. | 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
