Description: | An incomplete Post Medieval cast copper alloy buckle frame and plate, c. 1550-1650 AD. The object consists of a double loop oval buckle frame with a lobed knop at either end of the narrowed strap bar. Attached to the frame at the strap bar is an unrecessed plate with tapering sides, a trilobed end and two rivets; the plate is cast from a single sheet and then folded in half to create two symmetrical segments. The plate has a central gap on the end folded around the strap bar, in order to hold the pin, which is now missing. The front of the buckle and plate are decorated with all-over moulded vine scroll decoration. The remains of two circular rivets are visible on both sides of the buckle plate, but the inner shafts are missing. The buckle frame measures approximately 35 mm long by 27 mm wide at the centre; the buckle plate measures approximately 30 mm long, 13.6 mm maximum width and 8.5 mm max. thickness. The entire buckle and plate measures 42.8 mm long and weighs 15.6 grams. For a similar example, cf. Whitehead 2003, No. 423; cf. PAS database record: SUSS-6ADB33.
