Description: | A corroded cast copper-alloy post-medieval double-looped buckle frame, incomplete in as much it is missing its pin. The pin bar extends beyond the edges in pointed lobes. The reverse is flat, and the frame slightly bevelled internally and externally on its upper surface. This latter is decorated on each outer edge by a very worn five-petalled rosette with three outer petals and two inner. Viewed in profile one of the loops have been bent upwards slightly as a result of old damage. The buckle has corroded to a dark-grey colour with traces of off-white and green corrosion product. Possible traces of orange corrosion product around the pin bar suggest at the iron composition of the missing pin.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.
