Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle frame of Post-Medieval date. It has rectangular frames that are rectangular in section with expanded outer edges set at an angle of 45 degrees to the plane of the frame, one now incomplete due to old breaks. The frames are separated by an integrally cast bar that is oval in section. At the base of the frame is an integral suspension loop that is flat, oval in form and with a central circular aperture, missing its outer edge due to old breaks. It measures 20.49mm in width (incomplete), 34.52mm in length (including incomplete loop), 2.71mm in thickness and 2.74g in weight. This is a buckle frame of Post-Medieval date, possibly for use as a sword belt hanger or similar (e.g. Margeson, 1993: no. 178; Read, 1995: no. 935). It probably dates to the 16th to 17th centuries AD. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
