Title
spectacle buckle
Description
English: Cast copper alloy double-looped oval spectacle buckle with internally bevelled inside edge and widened exterior edges to each loop. The upper face of each loop has continuous, transverse, S-shaped, engraved lines and there is a linear grooved pin rest half way along the inner edge of one loop of the frame, but the pin is now missing. The pin bar is narrowed and flush with the frame. There are clusters of corrosion product on the outer and inner surface of the frame, where traces of matt black lacquer have been retained, which was used to protect the surface of the copper alloy (Whitehead, 1996, 8).

Whitehead (1996) illustrates similar buckles with transverse grooves and traces of black lacquer on page 53, Nos.289 & 295, which are dated from c.1350-1650, and a more decorative buckle with moulded vine scroll ornament and black lacquer on page 68, No.425, which is dated from c.1550-1650.
