Description: | A complete gilded copper alloy Post Medieval buckle, dating to c. 1550-1650 AD. The buckle consists of a double loop oval frame and a sub-triangular pin, which has been simply wrapped around the strap bar. The frame is decorated on both outer edges of the loops with moulded decoration. One side has two splayed adjacent knops, creating a 'heart-shaped' form with a central incised notch; the other side has a single knop with a central incised pin rest. A small slightly raised knop is positioned at either side of the strap bar, which is narrowed. The frame itself is bevelled on the interior edges of the loops. The entire outer surface of the frame and pin has been gilded and approximately 90% of the gilding remains. The reverse face is completely flat and undecorated. It measures 42.7mm long, 25.5mm in wide, 3.7mm thick and weighs 10.62 grams. The pin measures 21.6mm long.For a similar example, cf. Whitehead 2003, No. 372.
