Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy double looped buckle of Late Medieval or Early Post Medieval date (c. AD 1400 - c. AD 1600). Length 29.0mm, width 25.5mm and about 2.0mm thick. Weight 3.61g.
The pin is missing. Each identical loop is oval in plan, convex at the front and flat on the underside. The central bar is sub-circular in cross-section, about 2.4m in diameter. However, proior to being corroded, the bar may have been D-shaped in cross-section, flat on the underside. There is no evidence for a pin-rest. The buckle frame is corroded and in poor condition and a patina has not survived.
A similar buckle frame has been published in Whitehead, R. 1996. Buckles 1250 ? 1800. 57, ref. 334. Greenlight Publishing. This published buckle has been dated between c. 1400 and c. 1600. | 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
