Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy double looped buckle of Post-Medieval date (AD 1620 ? AD 1680). Length 42.8mm, width 27.5mm and 2.0mm thick. Weight 6.67g.
The frame is flat on both faces. It is symmetrical and each loop is trapezoidal in plan. At the centre of each outer edge there is a pointed swelling and at each corner of the frame is an ovoid knop. There are lobed protrusions at the ends of the bar which is roughly square in cross-section. There is a pin rest in the form of a shallow and narrow groove at the centre of each of the outer edges. The front face is decorated with a linear groove parallel to the inner face of each outside edge. The pin is missing.
The front face has a shiny mid-green patina and the rear face has a similar patina although it is not shiny.
The buckle frame is identical to an example illustrated in Whithead, R. 1996. ?Buckles 1250 ? 1800?. 84, ref. 523. Chelmsford: Greenlight Publishing. This illustrated buckle has been dated by Whitehead to c. 1620 ? c. 1680. | 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: | 1620
