Description: | A corroded cast copper-alloy post-medieval double-looped buckle frame, incomplete in so far as the pin is missing. 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 downwards slightly and at an angle as a result of old damage. The frame is now dark-green in colour.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.
