Description: | A complete copper alloy post-medieval spectacle buckle frame dating to the period c.AD 1500-1700. The buckle consists of an axis bar, triangular in cross section, which has a set of three moulded knops fanning out from each end. These knops expand out to either side to form two oval loops, thus forming the frame which is D-shaped in cross section. Placed at the apex of the curve of each loop's outer edge is trilobed moulding, with moulded circular indentations at the centre of each of the flanking lobes. Each oval loop is angled upwards slightly from the axis bar. The reverse is undecorated. The buckle has a brown patina. There are traces of a white metal coating on the surface.A similar example can be found in Whitehead (2003) p.64 no.393.The buckle measures 42.28mm in length, 24.46mm in width, 2.33mm in thickness and weighs 5.68g.
