Title
Medieval to Post Medieval: asymmetrical double looped buckle
Description
English: Complete cast copper alloy asymmetrical double looped buckle of post-medieval date (1575-1700). The frame of the buckle is sub-rectangular (rectangular with angled corners) in plan. The frame is D shaped in cross section with bevelled edges on the upper edge. A central bar divides the frame irregularly. The pin (not present) would have fitted to this central bar. The frame is thickened in two places to act as a pin rest, these thickening have not had recesses cut into them. There is no evidence of decoration present and the frame has not been decorated with an applied tin surface. The reverse is flat and undecorated; it does have a number of filed lines present. The buckle frame measures 23.7mm long, 16.9mm wide and is 3mm thick. It weighs 4.1 grams. The buckle is mid-dark green colour with an even patina that covers all surfaces. Similar examples to this buckle can be seen in Ross Whitehead's book 'Buckles 1250 - 1800', pages 90-91. Whitehead suggests that these buckles date 1575-1700, however the style of frame was used for a much longer period
