Description: | A complete copper alloy double looped rectangular buckle frame of Early Post Medieval dating (AD 1600 to AD 1720).Only the frame is present, the pin and strap plate are missing.The frame is rectangular with rounded corners. The sides demonstrate possible trefoil shaping. Traces of iron corrosion are present on the strap bar, indicating that the pin may have been made from iron.The buckle frame measures 37.6 mm in length, 23.9 mm wide and 6.9 mm. It weighs 6.0 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 the loss of some of the original surface detail.Similar rectangular buckle frames have been published as no. 443 (Whitehead, 1996, p 71) and are considered to be Early Post Medieval in dating (Ad 1600 to AD 1720).Reference:Whitehead, R. 1996. Buckles 1250-1800. Greenlight Publishing. Witham.
