Description: | A complete cast copper alloy double looped trapezoidal buckle of Post Medieval dating (1620 - 1680 AD).The buckle frame is sub rectangular / trapezoidal in plan, and rectangular in profile. The pin is present and is formed from a single sub-rectangular tapering length of copper alloy which is attached to the central bar by the end being folded to form an irregular 'wrap around' loop. Opposite the pin a large rounded triangular integrally cast projection extends. The reverse of the buckle is plain and undecorated.The buckle is a mid brown to mid green colour, with an abraded surface patina. Movement in the ploughsoil has resulted in the buckle becoming asymmetrical, and slightly bowed in profile.The buckle measures 38.91mm long, 21.00mm wide, is 6.20mm thick and weighs 6.7 grams.Several comparative examples have been published, in particular #511-#513 by Whitehead (2003, p82). He has dated these buckles to the Post Medieval period (c.1620 to c. 1680 AD).Reference:Whitehead, R. 2003. Buckles 1250-1800. Greenlight Publishing. Witham.
