Description: | A corroded, broken and incomplete cast copper-alloy post-medieval double-looped buckle frame. One of the loops has been broken away just beyond the pin bar. The pin bar extends beyond the edges in pointed lobes. The lower surface is flat, and the frame bevelled internally and externally. The upper face is decorated on each outer edge by a very worn ?six-petalled rosette with ?three outer petals and three inner. Slight dark traces, possibly of vernis brun, survive all over the artefact; the buckle is otherwise a dark red-brown colour with patches of green and off-white corrosion product.Such buckles tend to be attributed a later 16th-century date (cf. Egan 2005, 35; ref. 88). The style of buckle is quite a common one: numerous examples are documented in the literature (from, for example, Norwich and Colchester: respectively, Margeson 1993, 31; ref. 174 and Crummy 1988, 17; ref. 1758) and on this database.
