Description: | Post Medieval (mid 16th to mid 17th centuries) buckle: The cast copper buckle is a double looped oval. The loops are decorated on the upper surface, and at the centre of each loop there is a bulbous platform. The strap bar is narrowed, and is sub-trapezoidal in section. At both terminals there is a moulded decoration. The reverse is undecorated and is flat. A fragment of the iron pin is curled around the strap bar. The buckle loops have traces of a black patina which may be a type of coating, but generally the buckle is heavily abraded. The buckle measures 54.3mm long and 46.59mm wide. It weighs 15.57g.Whitehead (1996) illustrates a similar shaped buckle, No. 412 which is dated to the mid 16th to mid 17th centuries. The recorded example is considerably larger than the published example.Whitehead, R. 1996 Buckles 1250-1800 Colchester: Greenlight Publishing
