Description: | A complete copper alloy Post-Medieval spectacle buckle, dating to the period AD 1500-1750. The buckle has a central bar which is D shaped in cross section, and has a decorative knop at each end. This bar expands out and curves to each side to form two loops. At the outer edge of each loop the frame terminates in a central point with a trifoliate knop and an openwork heart. These loops are D shaped in cross-section. There is a red-brown patina on the surface, with areas of green. The pin is still intact, and consists of a copper length curved around the central bar which is D shaped in cross section.Cf. Whitehead, R. (2003) p.70, no.439The buckle measures 57.06mm in length, 27.76mm in width, 1.67mm in thickness and weighs 8.99g.
