Description: | A Post Medieval copper alloy double loop buckle frame, dating to the period c.AD 1550-1650. It is missing its pin and plate. The axis bar is narrowed with a knop at each terminus, each decorated with three moulded lines radiating from the axis bar towards the edge. These knops curve out to form a loop to each side, D shaped in plan. From the outer edge of the apex of each loop projects a knop in the form of two moulded stepped ridges followed by a lozenge. The frame expands slightly at this knop, before narrowing again. A brown patina is present on the surface, and traces of iron corrosion are present on the axis bar from an iron pin or plate.The buckle frame measures 44.98mm in length, 25.0mm in width and 1.6mm in thickness, and weighs 4.52g.Cf. Whitehead (2003) p.65, No.402 which is dated to c.1550-1650 AD. See also SOM-A2ADC5 on this database for a very similar buckle also found in Somerset.
