Description: | A complete cast copper alloy double loop oval buckle with moulded surface decoration, of Early Post Medieval dating (AD 1550 to AD 1650).The buckle and the buckle plate are present. The pin is missing, presumably lost in antiquity. The buckle consists of a double loop oval buckle, with the front bearing a moulded vine scroll ornament, cast in a sunken field. A lobed knop is present at either end of the strap bar. The back of the buckle frame is plain and undecorated. The buckle plate has been folded around the strap bar, with a rectangular slot cut in the centre for the pin. It has tapering sides and a trilobed end. Two rivet holes are present, one still contains the remnants of the (probably) iron rivet. The front of the plate bears similar moulded vine scroll ornament in a sunken field.The buckle frame measures 33.93 mm in length, 30.71 mm wide and 2.08 mm thick. The buckle plate measures 30.80 mm in length. 15.19 mm wide and 4.91 mm wide. There is a gap between the two sides of the buckle plate of 2.26 mm. Together they measure 45.61 mm in length, 30.71 mm wide and 9.40 mm thick. Together they weigh 12.4 grams.The buckle is a dark green colour, with an even surface patina.A similar buckle has been published as no 423 by Whitehead (1996, p 68) and has been dated to the Early Post Medieval period (AD 1550 to AD 1650).Reference:Whitehead, R. 1996.
