Description: | A complete copper alloy double looped oval 'spectacle' buckle frame, of Early Post Medieval dating (c. AD 1550 to c. AD 1650).Only the buckle frame is present. The pin and buckle plate are missing, presumed lost in antiquity.The buckle frame is a double looped oval buckle, with probable floral decoration on the outer edges. Knops are present on either end of the strap bar. The reverse is flat and undecorated.The buckle frame measures 43.0 mm in length, 27.6 mm wide and 2.4 mm thick. It weighs 7.5 g.The buckle frame is a dark green to brown colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail.A similar buckle frame has been published as no 416 by Whitehead (1996, 67) and has been dated to the Early Post Medieval period (c. AD 1550 and c. AD 1650).Reference:Whitehead, R. 1996. Buckles 1250 - 1800. Greenlight Publishing, Witham.
