Description: | A complete copper alloy double looped asymmetrical buckle frame, of Early Post Medieval dating (c. AD 1575 - c. AD 1700).Only the frame is present, the pin and buckle plate are missing.The buckle is asymmetrical in shape. The remnants of six lobed knops (worn) are present on the ouside edge of the rectangular loop. Two lobed semi circular knops are present at symmetrical points on the outer edge of the sub circular loop. A lobed rectangular knop is present at either end of the strap bar. The upper edges of the buckle frame are bevelled. The reverse is flat.The buckle is a mid to dark green colour, with a slightly abraded patina covering the surface. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail.The buckle measures 24.4 mm in length, 19.2 mm wide and 2.0 mm thick. It weighs 2.8 grams.This buckle is similar in style to those classified as double loop asymmetrical buckles by Whitehead (2003, p.91, #577), Whitehead has dated this style of buckle to the Early Post Medieval period (c. AD 1575 - c. AD 1700).Reference:Whitehead, R. 2003. Buckles 1250 - 1800. Greenlight Publishing. Witham.
