Description: | A copper-alloy double-oval buckle, dating from the early post-Medieval period.The symmetrical frame has two 'D-shaped' sides, each with a projecting, moulded pin rest in the form of a flower head. A similar moulding is also located at either end of the central, semicircular-sectioned axis bar. The remainder of the frame has bevelled surfaces and steep inner edges. Both the upper and lower surfaces of the frame are tinned or silvered, as is the flattened and tapering pin, which is loosely looped around the axis bar.Dimensions: 50.2mm long, 26.7mm wide, 3.7mm thick. Weight: 13.81g.A similar buckle was found on Henry VIII's warship, the Mary Rose, which sank in 1545 (Gardiner ed. 2005: 104, ref. 82A5069).
