Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy double looped buckle of Post Medieval date (c. AD 1550 ? c. AD 1650). Length 44.0mm, width 25.0mm and maximum thickness 2.8mm. Weight 6.87g. The pin is missing.
The frame is convex at the front and flat at the rear and has two identical oval loops. The bar is narrow and sub-triangular in cross-section (flat at the rear) and extends beyond the frame at each side to form small knops. At each outside edge of the frame is a moulded rosette motif. However, these features are barely visible due to wear and corrosion. There is no evidence on the outside edges for a pin rest.
The piece has a patchy mid-green patina and is in poor condition due to wear and corrosion. It also has a patchy coating of black lacquer.
A similar buckle frame has been published by Ross Whitehead, (Whithead 1996, 66, ref. 410). This published buckle frame is dated c. 1550 ? c. 1650. | 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
