Description: | Copper alloyPendant Loop. Cast U-shaped bracket with rounded ends and a round loop of diameter 16.7mm beneath it. The loop, and the lower part of the bracket, are textured with a moulded cabled surface. Ferrous staining indicates that an iron or steel pin formerly extended between the arms of the bracket; this was probably of circa 2.5mm diameter and circa 28mm long. The use of this object is uncertain, though it was clearly intended to bear significant stress when in use. The use of a ferrous metal pin or spindle would indicate a date circa 1620-1790 for buckles, and a similar date range is suggested for this piece.Height: 36.6mm, Width: 26.8mm, Thickness10.9mm, Weight: 16.18gms.
