Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy double-looped buckle of probable Post-Medieval date (c. AD 1500 - c. AD 1750). Length 34.0mm, width 26.0mm and 2.2mm thick. Weight 5.44g.
The buckle has been cast all in one piece. The identical loops are D-shaped and have semi-circular outside edges giving an overall outline oval shape. The central bar is D-shaped in cross-section, flat at the rear. The front has moulded decoration and the rear is flat and plain. The decoration consists of twelve evenly spaced trapezoidal mouldings, each separated by a narrow beaded line. All the trapezoidal mouldings are the same width as the frame.
On the front and rear there is a dark green patina interspersed with patches of corrosion and iron staining. There is also scant traces of a white metal coating, possibly tin, on the front face. | 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
