Description: | A complete copper alloy double looped buckle of the Post Medieval period, dating from c. AD1550 to c. AD 1650.Only the frame is present. The pin and strap plate are both missing, presumed lost in antiquity. The frame is broadly oval (vesica shaped) in plan, and rectangular in cross section. The outer loops are both expanded to a rounded triangular point. Broadly triangular knops are present at either end of the central strap bar, with a groove either side where it meets with the strap bar. The back is slightly concave, due to damage whilst within the plough soil, with no decoration present.It measures 49.6 mm in length, 44.3 mm wide and 4.4 mm thick. It weighs 16.8 g.The buckle frame is a dark grey, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail.This buckle is similar to that depicted as #365 by Whitehead (1996, p.61) and is consistent with an early Post Medieval date (c. AD 1550 to c. AD 1650). Other similar examples of this type of buckle have also been recorded on the database, including WMID-4B1BC7.Reference:Whitehead, R. 1996. Buckles 1250-1800.
