Description: | A slightly corroded, incomplete cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle frame of late medieval to early post-medieval date. The frame is formed of a pair of 'Ds' that incurve towards the pin bar; the pin is missing. On the upper surface the frame is bevelled round the outer edge and also internally on the loops. The lower face is flat, thus giving the frame a triangular cross-section (with rounded corners), including the pin bar. Buckles of this size with double oval frames have been found in late medieval contexts (cf. Egan and Pritchard 1991, 82-83; refs. 332-333), but as the form persists a later date cannot be ruled out. | 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: | 1400
