Description: | A complete copper alloy buckle frame, of Early Post Medieval dating (AD 1620 to AD 1680).Only the buckle frame is present. The pin and buckle plate are missing.The buckle consists of a double looped rectangular frame. Pointed ends with ovoid knops are present at the corners. A notch as a pin rest is present on both outer edges of the frame. Pointed knops are present at either end of the strap bar. The reverse is flat and undecorated.The buckle measures 32.7 mm in length, 25.2 mm wide and 2.6 mm thick. It weighs 3.8 g.The buckle frame is a mid to dark green colour, with an uneven patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail.A similar buckle frame has been published as no. 524 by Whitehead (1996) on page 84 and is considered to be Early Post Medieval in dating (AD 1620 to AD 1680s).Reference:Whitehead, R. 1996. Buckles 1250-1800. Greenlight Publishing. Witham.
