Description: | Post medieval copper alloy single loop buckle frame. The frame is rectangular with an expanded outer edge. the strap bar and sides are rectangular in section with thinner sections flanking the sides along their outer edges. The outer edge is expanded by a broad collar running along the entire length, then a narrower collar along almost the entire length the outer edge of which is shaped into a pair of cusped shapes flanking a central circle. The expansion thins from the broad collar to the circle before thickening slightly at the outer edge. indented lines separate the broad collar from the outer edge of the frame and the narrower collar, emphasised by indents at the ends of the lines. there is a central indent in the outer edge of the frame for a pin rest. Traces of iron around the strap bar may be the remains of an iron pin. The frame is 30.2mm long, 25.6mm wide and 3.3mm thick; it weighs 6.15 grams.Similar frames with elaborate outer edges are published by Whitehead (2003:28) and dated by him to AD1500-1650. The buckle appears to be an en suite item to the mount SOM-C45858 found nearby which suggests a 16th to 17th century date for the pair. Broadly similar buckles, although with very variable outer edges are recorded on the database, such as SOM-F30E64.
