Description: | A complete cast copper alloy double loop rectangular buckle frame, of probable Early Post Medieval dating (c. AD 1500 to AD 1700).The buckle frame is present, the pin and plate are missing, presumably lost in antiquity. The buckle frame is sub rectangular in plan and consists of a double loop with a narrow central bar. The external frame has been bevelled outwards. The side edges curve inwards either side of the central bar. The front surface has been decorated with a series of incised probable foliate designs and punched ring and dots series. The reverse is plain and undecorated. The buckle measures 39.28 mm in length, 27.52 mm wide and 3.25 mm thick. It weighs 6.1 g.The buckle frame is a dark green colour, with an uneven surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail.A direct parallel has not been found at the time of recording, but the style of the buckle frame is suggestive of Early Post Medieval dating (c. AD 1500 to AD 1700).
