Description: | An incomplete copper alloy fragment, probably from a double loop oval buckle frame with openwork decoration, probably of Early Post Medieval dating (c. AD 1550 to c. AD 1660).The fragment consists of a triangular knop above two parallel circular perforations (holes). These hole are located above a swelling, which may been perforated horizontally. Two more parallel circular perforations are present underneath, now incomplete.It measures 16.5 mm in length, 9.0 mm wide and 4.8 mm thick. It weighs 1.4 g.The fragment is a dark green 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.The shape and style are suggestive that this fragment may have been part of an openwork buckle frame, similar to that published as no 437 by Whitehead (1996, p70).Reference:Whitehead, R. 1996. Buckles 1250 to 1800. Greenlight Publishing. Witham.
