| Title |
Medieval Copper Alloy Rectangular Buckle |
||
| Description |
English: Post Medieval cast copper alloy double loop rectangular buckle frame dating to c.1690-1720. The frame is of sub rectangular form and is slightly wider at one end. The frame is sub rectangular in section and briefly expands in width on both sides just under halfway along its length where the frame has been drilled to attach a separate spindle. The spindle is a sub triangular sectioned rod and is slightly set back from the front face of the frame. The frame expands in width at the wider end which has a notch in the centre of the front face for the pin. The frame has been slightly deformed and has a dark grey brown patina with traces of green grey corrosion. There are some traces of bright orange corrosion around the spindle suggesting that the buckle probably had an iron pin, which is now missing. Whitehead (2003, 102) illustrates a similar example, with surviving pin, no. 660 which he dates to 1690-1720 AD.
The buckle frame is 28mm long and expands in width from 13.3 at one end to 15.9mm at the other. The frame is generally c.1.5mm wide and 2mm thick widening to 5mm at the notched end. The spindle is 3.5mm in diameter. It weighs 3.4g. |
