Description: | An incomplete copper alloy double looped (spectacle) sub oval buckle, of Post Medieval dating (AD 1600 to AD 1720).Around 50% of the buckle frame is present, the rest is missing, presumed lost in antiquity. The pin and strap plate are missing. The buckle frame is double looped (spectacle) and sub oval in shape. The buckle consists of a trilobed trefoil knop with an engraved rosette which is present on the outer edge of the surviving loop and a trefoil moulding remains at each end of the strap bar.It measures 29.9 mm in length, 26.4 mm wide and 2.5 mm thick. It weighs 3.2 g.The buckle frame is a mid green colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion caused by movement whilst within the plough soil may have resulted in the loss of some of the original surface detail.Similar examples are illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 71) such as no 444 and are dated to circa AD 1600 - AD 1720. Similar buckle frames have been recorded on the PAS database and include YORYM-A2D861 and WMID-1C5226.
