Description: | A cast copper double looped oval shaped buckle. The loops are decorated at the apex with three radiating grooves which also act as a notch. The edges on the upper face of the frame are rounded. The loops expand slightly in width towards the apex which is slightly pointed. The reverse of the frame is undecorated and flat. The strap bar is narrowed, and is semi-circular in section. The pin is a fragment of copper alloy wire which is curled around the strap bar. In profile the buckle is slightly twisted, but this is not intentional. The buckle frame has a mid to dark green patina. The buckle measures 33.52mm long and 28.01mm wide. It weighs 5.14g.
Egan and Pritchard (2002 Dress Accessories Boydell Press) date a similar shaped buckles (Nos. 332 and 333) to the mid 14th to mid 15th century. | 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: | 1350
