Description: | A fragment of a cast copper-alloy double looped buckle frame of post-Medieval to Modern date (c. 1750-c. 1850).This fragment is the outside edge of a double looped buckle. The front is convex in the form of a lion's head facing forwards and is symmetrical in plan. When complete, the buckle frame would probably have been sub-rectangular in plan with rounded ends and the opposite outside edge (now missing) would have been in similar form. A small part of the sides of the frame have survived and the missing bar may have been off-set and narrowed. The rear face is concave.The front is worn and has a mid-green patina. At the rear the surface has a similar patina which is coarse and has loose copper alloy corrosion products. Both breaks are old. No traces of gilding.26.1 x 25.0 x 9.8mm. Weight: 9.26g.This type of buckle may be military and possibly associated with the Royal Navy.A similar buckle has been recorded from Ringwood Parish, Hampshire. See, Portable Antiquities Scheme find: HAMP-A84EB5.
