Description: | Cast copper alloy double-loop, trapezoidal spur buckle with ornate moulded outer edges consisting of two outer lobes and a pointed front in the shape of a trefoil. The pointed centre of the edge of each loop is engraved with a notch, for the pin to rest on, and a transverse line which runs the length of the outer edge of the loop. The narrowed strap bar has two lobed protrusions, one at either end, and the cast pin is wrapped around it. The frame has a flat base and slightly bevelled outer edges and is bent (probably during use) in profile with raised outer edges. The upper surface of the buckle has been tinned. The buckle frame is 34 mm long and 22 mm wide and 2 mm in thickness. The bar is 12 mm long and 3 mm wide and 2.5 mm in thickness. Whitehead (1996) illustrates a similar buckle on page 84, no.524, which is dated from c.1620-1680.Read (1988) illustrates a similar buckle on page 144, no.930, which is dated from c.1600-1650.See similar buckles in records: CORN-7267F2 , CORN-80AA37 , CORN-6FD545 and CORN-1C00F6.
