Title
spectacle buckle (plan)
Description
English: Cast copper alloy spectacle or double-loop buckle frame with bevelled inside edge and flat back so that it is semi-circular in section. The pin bar is also bevelled on both sides and therefore narrowed, but it is flush with the frame with a recessed groove at either end where it meets the frame. The frame is decorated with oblique lines which change angle as they move around each loop, creating a rope effect. The pin is missing but the original surface remains, although with some scratches and corrosion.

Whithead (1996) illustrates similar spectacle buckles with oblique engraved lines on pages 52-53, Nos.287 & 289, which are dated from c.1350-1650.

Egan and Pritchard (1991) illustrate a similar double oval buckle frame with oblique grooving on page 83, Fig.50, No.342, which is from a context dated c.1400-1450.
