Title
cusped spectacle buckle
Description
English: Cast copper alloy double-looped, oval spectacle buckle frame, missing its pin. The frame has a flat base and a convex profile in cross-section and a simple, narrowed, central bar which is 2.5 mm thick. The frame has concave sides and rounded ends to the loops which have cusped or serrated outer edges. Each loop has eight filed grooves, giving the outer edge of the loop a cusped appearance, and one filed pin rest on the inside edge.
The length of the frame is 34.5 mm and its width, from one end of the pin bar to the other, is 22 mm and its thickness is 2.3 mm.
Whitehead (1996) illustrates a very similar example on page 60, Plate No.354, which he dates to c.1450-1600.
