Description: | Post Medieval cast copper-alloy single looped buckle frame. The loop is rectangular with a elaborate wider outer edge, decorated sides and recessed and narrowed strap bar. The outer edge has a central raised oval boss encircled by indented dots from which projects a semicircle of moulded plumes creating a projecting outer edge. Flanking the boss are knops at the corners flanked by incised short lines. Details of the moulding on these knops is unclear due to wear. The sides are concave ending in large knops flanking the strap bar. There are collars across the sides, marked by incised lines, at the end of the side adjacent to the outer edge and incised lines between the main part of the sides and the larger knops flanking the strap bar. The knops are moulded possibly into the shape of lion heads, although the details are worn. The strap bar is oval in section, narroowed and stepped back behind the main frame. The back is plain apart from slight dips behinds the thicker moulding. It is 34.7mm long by 29.7mm wide by 4.18mm thick and weighs 10.24 grams.It is similar in form, although more elaborate in decoration, to buckles in Whitehead (2003: 29) which he dates to c. 1500-1650. The decoration on this example suggests a 17th to possibly mid 18th century date.
