Description: | A fragment of Early Post-Medieval (1550-1650) copper alloy double loop buckle frame, consisting of one outer edge only. It measures 13.22x29.24x1.66mm and weighs 2.05g. The outside edge is max.6.37mm wide, narrowing to c.4mm at the old breaks.The underside is plain, while the upper face is decorated with a raised rim around the inner side of the loops and raised foliate patterns (the pattern is described by Whitehead as vine scroll - cf. Whitehead 2003 p.68 no.423, a similar buckle which he dates to c.1550-1650. Cf. also SUSS-C9A2E0 on this database. The similarity of these buckles, in particular the tri-lobed buckle plate, to contemporary sword belt hangers (Cf. Read (2001), fig.26, no.373) suggests they are part of a suite of items for a sword belt.
