Description: | A complete cast copper alloy double looped buckle of Post-Medieval date (c. AD 1550 ? c. AD 1650). Length 50.1mm, width 20.8mm and 2.2mm thick. Weight 8.43g.
The frame is symmetrical in plan and each loop is oval-shaped. It is convex at the front and slightly concave at the rear. Each outside edge has a large pointed knop with a central longitudinal groove. The central bar is narrowed and is D-shaped in cross-section, flat at the rear. It is about 10.0mm in length and the width is about 2.0mm. The pin is intact and its loop fully encloses the bar. The pin shaft is D-shaped in cross-section, convex on the upper face with a flat underside. The shaft tapers to a blunt point.
The front of the frame is tinned, whereas the rear is corroded. The pin also has traces of tinning but is mainly corroded.
A similar buckle has been dated, c. 1550 ? c. 1650 by Whitehead (Whitehead 1996, 62, ref. 373). | 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
